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.
I just let KDE handle it. I think… it was a long time ago. I’ll turn on my PC and check my fstab in a sec.
But yeah. I’d recommend a fresh install, with the philosophy of “don’t mess with the defaults unless it isn’t working, or you have a very good reason.” As not only are CachyOS defaults pretty good, but they’re set up in a way so the system will maintain itself through updates.
It’s (ironically) very different than my experience with Ubuntu, where I had to manually maintain a bunch of stuff and fight the system packages.
