At the terminal, go to the directory that contains the mount point for the disk (so if the mount point is /mnt/disk
go to /mnt
.
Run ls -l
. This should list everything in /mnt
with the owners and permissions. If your mount point (in this example disk
) is owned by user and group root
, then you just need to change ownership of the mount point and the disk attached.
With the disk attached, run sudo chown -R user:user disk
Replace each instance ofuser
with your system username (if you’re not sure what you’re username is run whoami
and it will tell you), and replace disk
with your mount point directory.
Here’s what this does:
sudo
: escalates your privileges to run the chown
commandchown
: the utility that allows you to change ownership of files and directories-R
: tells chown
to change ownership recursivelyuser:user
specifies the user and group that will own the files/directories you are modifying.disk
: specifies the file(s)/directories you want to change ownership for.You do need to be careful, but you can check for errors after editing /etc/fstab
by running the command sudo mount -a
. With the drive attached but not mounted. (Also good practice to use the UUID of the drive in the fstab entry)
That command runs through etc/fstab
and attempts to mount everything it is instructed to mount if it is not already mounted. And if there is an error it will let you know.
If you run sudo mount -a
and you get no output in the terminal, then there are no errors, your drive should now be mounted, and you should be fine for reboots and it should mount on startup as expected.

Instead of using the gui for this, have you tried. creating a mount point and adding an entry to /etc/fstab
?

Can someone eli5 what real time kernel is?
Edit: nvm. Found a good explainer.
There must be some invisible 10mm black hole just vacuuming up all the 10mm sockets and wrenches in the world. I can’t even tell you how many damn 10mm sockets and wrenches I’ve bought and I still only have one of each. Probably none. I haven’t needed to wrench anything in a couple weeks.
I’m currently using Baserow, and so far it suits my needs well enough. I’m not a very demanding user, but part of what I love is how nicely Baserow documents the api. It made it very easy for me to implement some automations I wanted to use to record data.

If you’re just doing a vanilla Linux install, ext4 is the way to go.
Oh dang. How fun. I never even considered thematically making my machines! Mine are super mundane.
Now I’m going to have to find a theme and start renaming machines! I might go with Magic the Gathering as my theme.
Edit: formatting, and added MtG as potential theme
Edit 2: fixed stupid autocorrect error (theatrically to thematically)
This is great. Thank you for sharing!! I was just thinking about how I wanted this and knew it had to exist in the settings but hadn’t gotten around to looking up how to accomplish it.
Currently running Navidrome on my server and using substreamer on mobile, with the webui on desktop.
+1 for mealie. Been running it for maybe six months now and it’s great.
Also been thinking about doing something like this. Would love to hear about your experience deploying it.
Nice!!! I’ve been using the audiobookshelf beta for my server, but I like the look of Plappa. Gonna give it a spin!
If you’re gonna dive into sed and awk, I’d also highly recommend learning at least the basics of regular expressions. The book Mastering Regular Expressions has been tremendously helpful for me.
Edit: a letter. Stupid autocorrect.

I’m really happy to be hosting my own password manager.
Regarding baserow, I use it in a couple of ways. First is as a replacement for Google Sheets. For my use case, I only ever really used sheets as a dumb database, (home inventory, etc…) so I don’t need the spreadsheet parts of the spreadsheet much.
The other thing I use it for is a backend for my automations for data. Baserow has wonderful api documentation right in the gui, and I use that a lot with data logging for myself.
This is entirely anecdotally just my experience. I’m using musicbrainz Picard for my id/tagging and so far I haven’t had any issues.
I’ve got my music in Jellyfin as well, and I can always use that as a fallback if Navidrome does end up fucking me.
edit: added Forgejo
Awesome! Glad I could help.
