So you suggest not to mount like the guy above said /home/stoy/videos ?

And suggest symlinks instead?

If I’m not wrong LVM is a method which joins all your disk into single storage pool.

Let’s say I stored data all across my LVM, now I suddenly remove one of the disks. What happen now?

Also can I add more disks to LVM later?

🥇

mount the partition to some subdirectory of /home/<username>, or even split it and mount its parts to /home/<username>/Downloads, /home/<username>/Movies etc

Thanks bro. I think that’s what I’m gonna do.

If you instead set your user as the owner of the folder, you can make only your user able to read/write without other fuss.

Thanks for the tip.

Can you please tell me what file manager are you using?

I’m using Nemo. As it’s the default one on Mint Cinnamon.

it’s more of a hint that if I’m trying to create something inside those directories then I’m doing something wrong (like forgetting to mount a filesystem) and “permission denied” errors let me know that I am.

Now I understand.

This is all new to me bro.

Even I don’t know if I will go this further to explain something to someone.

Thanks Chad.

Thanks bro.

Thanks for the info.

Not /mnt and not /media

Why though?

what kind of data

Just media files, downloads, images , music kinda stuff.

OS “replaces” its contents AND permissions with that of the filesystem’s root.

So, the original content is lost forever?

setting permissions is just extreme pedantry

So, what’s the actual use case of it though? Even though it’s pedantry, it still there has to be some benefits, right?

I mean, What’s the need for you to deny the access of /mnt/a untill has mounted with something? One can just leave it as it is, right?
