I’ve been working on getting my second NVMe drive mounted to expand my Steam library, I have been following this old guide. So far, using KDE Partition Manager, I have my second drive formatted in btrfs. However, I mounted the drive in Dolphin via the right-click menu, and it has been auto-mounted in /run/media/system. I didn’t expect it to auto-mount itself after that. I got thrown off when I tried to make a folder inside /var/mnt/ and it said I didn’t have permission. Inside gaming mode, it shows it is available, but needs to be formatted?
I’m not sure what to do next. I recall doing this a year ago and having to be cautious not to end up in emergency mode. However, at the moment, everything seems to be doing fine and has survived rebooting.
Yo B-Shep, the easiest way of auto mounting an additional drive for space is through the Disks application that came with bazzite. click on the drive and then click on the little gears from here click on the “edit mount options” . It should be set on by default but in this case you will toggle the switch and make sure the to have it as “Mount at system startup” press okay and restart the computer. It should be mounted , otherwise something went wrong.
** additional info**
make sure that the drive is set to Ext4, sometimes linux gets funky with FAT32 storage and in cases can prevent from loading drives on startup/ auto mounting.
Thank you, this one makes much more sense. But I’m still having an issue where on step 5 when I go to make the games folder(var/mnt/games) I do not have permission for some reason.
