some time ago I installed ubuntu 20.04 to my laptop. I believe that I used the default options for mounting partitions. I am now having trouble understanding how it is set up and I would be grateful for some help.
Here are the contents of the fstab file:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.## Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a# device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices# that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).## <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass># / was on /dev/nvme0n1p2 during installationUUID=e19799b8-02b4-470b-ab41-97ac0f760845 / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1# /boot/efi was on /dev/nvme0n1p1 during installationUUID=50D6-96DC /boot/efi vfat umask=0077 0 1/swapfile none swap sw 0 0
When I run the Disks utility, it indicates the presence of 2 disks: 1) 256GB flash drive 2) 2TB SSD.
The 2TB SSD does not appear to be listed in the fstab file, though it does appear in Thunar at /media/erik/0d210810-0cf4-48f3-ba54-47a08261c8e5/
.
The information displayed in the disks utility includes the following:
Contents: Ext4 (version 1.0) — Mounted at /media/erik/0d210810-0cf4-48f3-ba54-47a08261c8e5
If I click on the gear icon and then "Edit Mount Options", it displays a screen which lists information including:
Mount Point: /mnt/0d210810-0cf4-48f3-ba54-47a08261c8e5
So here are some of the things that I do not understand:
- How come the 2TB SSD is not listed in the fstab file?
- I suppose that a command gets executed during startup to mount the drive, where can I see that command?
- As mentioned above, when I inspect the drive in the disk utility...
The main screen shows the mount point as:
/media/erik/0d210810-0cf4-48f3-ba54-47a08261c8e5
And the "Edit Mount Options" screen shows the mount point as:
/mnt/0d210810-0cf4-48f3-ba54-47a08261c8e5
How come those two values are different?
My home directory is on the 256GB flash drive, how can I move it to the 2TB SSD?
How can I change the name of the directory at which the 2TB SSD is mounted?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
