Hi! I am new to MicroOS and unclear on how to mount internal drives for additional storage.
I am using the Gnome edition. I have two internal drives; a nvme for the system, and a SSD for Home
backups and Steam Library. I cannot mount the SSD (ext4). Or rather, I cannot get the mounted drive to persist after rebooting. I have tried using Gnome Disks by deselecting User Session Defaults, which works for me on other systems. Doing this creates the record in /etc/fstab
, but doesn’t actually auto mount the drive after rebooting. I have to manually do so using Nautilus. I can manually configure fstab
using vi, but still not auto mount to it.
I think my confusion is in how to manually mount using the terminal in the MicroOS way of doing things. I think I am supposed to use transactional-update --root
, but that is not clear to me. I am not clear if I should be doing this in transactional-update --root
, or by some other means like simply su
.
I can create a directory using terminal just fine, but not mount to it.
sudo transactional-update --root
then,
sudo mkdir /mnt/storage
Mounting to that new directory does not persist.
I could use some assistance on how to do this in MicroOS. Must I mount to a directory under Home? Must I use sudo transactional-update --root
. Or am I supposed to do this some other way in terminal?
Thanks!
