Hey guys, so i just now pulled the trigger, formatted my windows installation and installed Linux for the first time. I went with bazzite, which seems very gaming friendly and idiot proof with its rollback functionality.

Now to the issue: I have 3 drives in my computer, one 500gb SSD which i used for the OS. This one can be accessed fine as expected. The other two, a 2tb SSD and 1tb HDD however, dont. I cant seem to find a way to access them, and i have all my media on there / want to install games onto them.

How can i access them, and tell the OS that these two are also part of its system?

    1. Identify the drives with the lsblk command.
    2. Run sudo mount <path/to/drive> <mount-point> Where path/to/drive is most likely /dev/something and mount-point is any directory you want but id recommend creating it in your home folder. Don’t include the angle brackets. You have to create the directory before you can mount the drive there.

    If you don’t want to do this every time you reboot, youll have to edit fstab like someone else said. Doing this a couple times will help you understand what fstab is actually doing.

      Be careful because you can make your OS not boot at all if you write something wrong there. My spouse did this today lol
