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.

Help changing mount point in Cachyos (lemmy.ca)

submitted 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) by Jack_Burton@lemmy.ca to c/linux@lemmy.ml

27 comments fedilink hide all child comments

I just installed Cachyos and I'm having trouble with mount points I think. At boot, I need a password to mount sata drives, and whatever permissions I change don't stay after rebooting. From what I can tell, it has to do with the drives mounting on /run/media, and apparently /run is a temp folder or something.

I think I need to change the mount points to something else, like /media (which doesn't exist and I'm hoping I can just create the folder and use it as a mount point?)

fstab is confusing me, can anyone help me with a quick rundown?

Edit: Think I've got it using gnome disk utility. I switched the mounts, everything boots up connected now. Had an issue where I couldn't read or write to the drives tho haha, but seems to have corrected after a reboot ( I think I may have installed ntfs-3g before the reboot). The owner and group for all of them are now root for some reason, but it seems to be working anyway.

Edit 2: If anyone is here for the same issue, I've made another post which is more directed at the issue: NTFS drives. You can find it here https://lemmy.ca/post/57140934

I can't tell if you are saying you literally mounted the drive at /media or that you mounted it at a subfolder, example: /media/drive1. The 2nd is the proper way of doing it.

Either way, glad I could help!

Sorry it's the second. Each drive has a folder in /media that it's mounted in. Not sure if they're meant to be root:root though, when I chown nothing changes. I think I might need figure out chmod 755 stuff. It all seems to be working except my server can't write to any of them, it says they're read-only. They're also mounted as fuseblk.

What I usually do is sudo chown $USER -R /media/drive1

No go, can't change it. Gonna start from scratch I think.
