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.
Haha yeah it’s been a journey. 5 months into Linux but I’ve learned a ton. I’ll start digging into this and in the mean time just settle for mounting at boot and changing the permissions to /run/media/USER every time so my server can get in. Appreciate the time, thank you.
