Mageia 4, KDE

I added a spare 1.3 TB hard drive to my system, created a single partition with fdisk, formatted it as ext4, and added it to the /etc/fstab file with the mount point /media/Storage. It's working fine there, but as I read more I found that "/media/XXX" is probably not the preferred place, and I began thinking that it would be nice to have it show up in the Home directory. Is it possible to create the /home/Storage directory and change the fstab entry for the drive to that directory without breaking something? Or can I just leave all of this alone and add it to "Places" in Dolphin somehow? Sorry for the beginner questions - I'm definitely in the "pure beginner still learning and trying to avoid breaking things" mode.

Thanks,

just do a

Code: Select all

ln -s /media/Storage Storage

in your home directory. May be you have to adjust the access rights afterwards to write into that directory.

You can do both - depends just on taste.

Thank you both for the responses - new concepts to explore!
