Mounting additional drives

[errant leaf]

Hi,
Where do you mount your secondary drives (for back up, all kind of files or app) ?
I've followed a video that suggest to mount them in /media but I can't write into the folder there 🤔

if the drives are ext4, modifiy permission

if it's ntfs, then it may be "sick" and need a chkdsk /f run on it from a Windows environment

listen extremely carefully at that timestamp

and watch rest of vid thereafter

They are ext4 but I don't know which permission I should modify, and I don't even know where to do it 😬
I'll watch the video and see if that help me !

usually
/media/your_username/disk_name
or
/run/media/your_username/disk_name.

you can also just mount them in your home directory or desktop, like
/home/your_username/disk_name

It's ok, I've followed the video from Stunner to modify permissions !
Thanks 🙂
