I must admit however that I hit my limits of juggling with Linux here. My general understanding of such non-routine complications under Linux simply is not profound enough. I even already have forgotten again how I once managed to mount the HD... I will try once more tomorrow to get the Steam game library accepted on the HD - and if not, it is no big deal since I cannot play my preferred titles under Linux anyway.

If I would have known before, I probably would not have even bought the second HD.

I know there's a way to have a drive auto mount on startup but I haven't bothered. It's too easy to mount manually to make me want to fix it.

You can find it in

/etc

use your preferred txt editor to view it.

Skybird, Post it here and I can see how things are mounting, and we can -if you want to continue- go from there.


RR's method is one I use when I'm just putting a drive in for a short time just to move some files around.
Nothing wrong with it. I like to keep things "manual" until I decide that I want them automatic.

P.S. now I'm off to work!
