Hey,
I’ve recently switched over to Rocky from Mint. I have to HDDs in my PC and they not auto mounted and are currently living in /run/media
. Is it possible to have them auto mount and have them live inside of /mnt
instead? I have no idea where to look to start setting this up?
Thanks
An example, entry in /etc/fstab
:
UUID=29379e5f-c986-4f7a-bfd9-9f9d3e8c500e /mnt/sysC7 ext4 defaults,noauto,nofail,x-systemd.automount,x-systemd.idle-timeout=300 1 2
That sets up SystemD automounter to manage that filesystem to mount point.
The “auto mount” here means that mount is done only when I do access the /mnt/sysC7
, and when I have not used that filesystem for a while (300 seconds), it automatically umounts.
You can see the UUID of each filesystem with blkid
and lsblk -f
The latter shows also the type of the filesystem. (My example has ext4
.)
If I’d want the mount to always happen on boot and last to shutdown, then I’d have:
UUID=29379e5f-c986-4f7a-bfd9-9f9d3e8c500e /mnt/sysC7 ext4 defaults 1 2
Two HDDs, but who knows what partitions, logical volumes, filesystems and so on.
Maybe run this command fist:
lsblk -o NAME,MAJ:MIN,TYPE,SIZE,LABEL,FSTYPE,MOUNTPOINT
