Linux Mint hard drive trouble
Linux Mint hard drive trouble
You're dealing with a common issue when using multiple drives in Linux Mint 19. It sounds like your system is treating the 200GB drive as separate from the 80GB one, which can slow things down during downloads. Here’s a simple approach:
1. **Check Disk Usage** – Open a terminal and run `df -h` to see how much space each drive actually has.
2. **Mount Both Drives Together** – Try mounting both drives as a single volume so they share the same filesystem.
3. **Use a File Manager** – If you're using a GUI, ensure both drives are recognized and properly connected.
4. **Check Mount Options** – Sometimes mounting with `noatime` or similar options can help, but it’s usually not necessary for performance.
5. **Restart Your System** – A reboot can sometimes resolve temporary glitches.
If the issue persists, you might need to adjust your bootloader settings or consider using a different partitioning method. Let me know if you want step-by-step instructions for any of these!

SDX refers to the size of your NTFS hard drive, which varies across systems. Use the lsblk command to verify it. Remember, SDX represents disks while SDXY denotes partitions such as /dev/sda2 or /dev/sdb4.
