well, im not to sure how to describe this problem now where to put it.
The second internal drive always needs the admin password one the first mount, when i for example try to use wine with the c drive in said internal drive it doesnt seem to work.
my guess is i would have to remove this admin password prompt to programs dont need root access?
or is there some other way i can make the drive automount and without having interferences?
Edit: another example of this being is a game on this drive trying to install aditional files it doesnt see the drive and thus shows it as 0, which was the initial thing that made me think this might be some perm issue with the whole password prompt?
while i am aware of fstab this is far out of my expertise to use the arch wiki as it requires to much additional knowledge to even understand, knowledge i do not have
i dont think you understand what i meant, i dont understand what the arch wiki is trying to tell me, its to cryptic for me to comprehend what its trying to tell me.
the arch wiki (for me) as i said is written with the reader needing already extensive knowledge to use it properly.
In short, i just dont understand it, which is why im asking this friendly forum for the help i need.
UUID obviously has to be changed to the UUID of your partition,
second part is the location of the mount point… This is a folder that has to exist, if it doesn’t: make it.
Of course you can name it whatever you want
3rd part “ext4” is the filesystem the partition uses, so if it is anything else than ext4 change it there
4th part “defaults” are the mounting options… I chose just defaults, the wiki has info about others.
5 part “0” is dump, this is usually set to 0
6th part, the other “0” is <fsck> sets the order for filesystem checks at boot time; see fsck(8). For the root device it should be 1 . For other partitions it should be 2 , or 0 to disable checking.
edit: seeing previous post, seems like I might want to add noatime for improved performance
@jonathon
I’m sorry but i understand exactly what @AmandaONeill is saying. I too agree that for a lot of people reading the Arch wiki isn’t going to help them. It is written in a way that is so technical most people can’t understand it and it just leads you down a rabbit hole of frustration and disillusionment. I myself find it difficult and sometimes excruciatingly painful to just read through some stuff. So i understand exactly what is being said. I don’t believe in RTFM and you’ll be able to do it. I think there is a better way and that is explanation and showing and doing. Learning …baby steps! As they say! It’s obvious the user knows something and probably has learned it this way and not from reading the Arch wiki!
No offence…just my opinion.
you dont have to be rude just because other people do not have the same understanding of a wiki as you, just because someone can read doesnt mean they can understand everything they are able to read.
while it is short and on point my technical knowledge is has the same problem as the wiki for me.
thank you for searching for a video but i have a dislike for video tutorials.
lastly for krimkerre, i tried to do exactly as you said adding the entry but as a result i wasnt able to boot
sorry to bother so many people with this and my limited knowledge
It takes time and the thing is to not give up. Linux (Arch) is like a universe and once you reach one destination there are many more. There are a lot of people with way more experience than myself and a lot have a grasp of the Linux command line that i don’t so i get it. I just try to learn something new everyday and i do! Some days.
