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.

    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.
