Setting up your internal system to treat a drive as unmounted and internal is possible.
Setting up your internal system to treat a drive as unmounted and internal is possible.
I recently purchased a second drive for my Linux Mint PC to hold my games, but setting it up is proving difficult. It appears as an internal drive rather than a removable one, and while it auto-mounts at startup, opening Steam requires constant remapping. I attempted to fix this using /etc/fstab, but it didn’t work. Could you suggest a solution within the Gnome Disk Manager?
You're likely using NTFS on that device. Remember, NTFS isn't built into Linux, which is why Mint treats it as removable storage. Make sure to back up your data first, then reformat the drive with ext4, JFS or XFS instead. Update the fstab entry accordingly.
