How is that a bad thing?

Also, that's exactly how operating systems work

>not knowing how to use fstab
Or, the 2017 version
>not using a distro that automounts

Fucking WinBabbies needing everything handed to them...

or maybe you could write a script if there wasn't tools like said

don't forget to sage if you answer

>what is /etc/fstab
>being this retarded
>making these kind of shitposts

Mounting or not is a checkbox away in mint...

Another thread died for this

>what's fstab for
one of the most basic concepts.

Where do you people mount your drives?

...

It takes about 5 seconds to figure out. Since you made a thread about it instead of figuring it out, you're not gonna make it.

/media

Are you retarded?

Are there any downsides to automounting?

I'm sure OP was just pretending to be retarded.

/bin

$ man file-hierarchy

/dev/shm/

>boot up Windows
>everything is automatically mounted r/w
>Windows starts writing shit to every drive
>computer crashes
>every drive needs to be checked
Amazing.

>having /var/log on the same partition as everything else

Does macOS mounts drives automatically?

>have windows and linux dual boot
>everything works fine in both of them
>no problems mounting anything

It's even more fun when you're trying to rescue valuable data from something.

l'd does. Even encrypted drives.

/mnt
yes, i know it's retarded

>try to do something
>can't, permission denied
>what the fuck
>google "permission denied linux"
>legit have to run some obscure command with the number 777 (which isn't explained anywhere) over the entire drive before I can do anything with the OS I installed MYSELF
good fucking os, guys
real fucking good

>the OS i installed MYSELF
the whole permission thingy is there to prevent other thing do stuff that will harm your shit.
and if you say the 777 thing is not explained everywhere, clearly "everywhere" doesn't include the manual.

helpful tip: read the guide carefully, usually the guide will explain thing or will point you to where the explanation is.
source: me, installed arch using the beginner guide from archwiki.

>have to run some obscure command with the number 777 (which isn't explained anywhere) over the entire drive
imagine falling for two decade old bait

You ever get the feeling you're surrounded by retards? I try not to have a negative outlook on things, but it's tough when people like this do everything they can to make life miserable. I'm not even all that clever. How do true geniuses make it through the day without killing themselves?

>he ran "chmod 777" on his ENTIRE DRIVE

wtf do you understand the security implications of this? What, were you too lazy for sudo?

By not being drama queens and simply ignoring them.

/home/user/mount{1-15}
ive been thinking about this a lot, do you guys think its a bad idea? i mean, ive been doing it for years now without any problems but ive never seen anyone else do it.

edit fstab, genius

I was actually just shitposting because that's what I thought we were doing here, but I actually didn't something similar the first time I used Linux years and years ago. I think it was just on /etc.
I rtfm'd afterwards and nuked the whole thing. Lesson learned, and it got me into the habit of reading manuals. Now I spend my evenings and weekends doing nothing but reading software manuals.
Thanks, linux!

From behind.

Yo, I /mnt, too.

if you dont mount the drive there's no files :)
my ssd in /
nas for /media/n

right in the scsi port.

Kill me.

Should've bought a Dell.

>OSes have to mount drives on boot in order to use them
wow

I once almost got fired from a hosting job over telling a customer he was being a fucking retard. Guy was demanding recursive 777 perms pretty much everywhere under document root.

SATA power switches put a stop to that asshattery.

It's Sup Forums. You can't be sure.

/run/media

Goto (((favourite_search_engine)))
Insert: 'mount at boot [name_of_your_distro]'
Hit enter
open first link
follow instructions.

Once youll have disk cluster 10HDDs+ youll find sluggish to mount them all at startup for no reason whatsoever.

I do almost the same thing (/home/username/mount/drivename)

It's not exactly traditional but it works and if I put them under /mnt I'd just be symlinking there from my home folder anyway. Maybe it'd be more of a problem if I wanted stuff mounted automatically on boot, instead of me running a cover script to mount stuff, idk.

You dumb fucking nigger. I just installed win10 and I had to use mmc to mount my external drive, and I had to search the internet for two days to find drivers for my raid card. With Linux, most of this shit is easy.

I do this bcs somehow my var/www scripts were not able to access them in mnt... 0problems so far so idk.

/mnt/ too, because I'm a pleb that came up with the current mountpoints long before I read about the FHS.

>long before I read about the FHS
Read about what?

hello there fellow pleb

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard

T-thanks.

Where should i mount drives permanently according to this? I'm confused.

What would you change if you knew about that?

It doesn't actually matter, because no software makes assumptions about where you put your filesystems, but most distributions that auto-mount drives will put them in /media.

I'd put it in /media

Also, what you're "supposed" to do is mount it in any particular directory created by yourself. For example, /drive1

I usually do /mnt/foo, foo being whatever kind of medium I'm mounting; e.g. usb, cdr, etc.

Can it be in root folder?

Don't mount on actually /, but something like /drive /drive2 etc. is fine. The standard says nothing about creating new folders.

Thanks guys
