From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

You can. Someone else mentioned fstab and that’s how you’d do it.
Seems like a lot of work though.
Why are you doing things like that?
I can think of a couple of possible reasons:
Space. You just don’t have a big enough single disk to install all the games and media and stuff.
Performance. You might have a fast drive or interface to connect a drive to that’ll make things run quicker.
Plausible deniability: disconnect the games and porno drive and the work from home spyware can’t detect them.
Personal preference: all the porno is in its proper place, all the games are tucked away on their block device. Gods in his heaven.
