Hi all, I’ve had a trawl around but can’t quite find the answer I’m looking for. I’m currently on Windows with 5 separate physical storage drives with different purposes - OS, games, media, apps, random bullshit.
I’ve been trialling Linux on and off for ages and I think I’ve settled on Garuda for now. I’d like to have a similar style of separation under Linux if possible - in case I fancy a change of distro etc.
I’m assuming I can just leave my media drive as just a drive. My understanding is that apps/games are installed in the /usr/bin folder?
Is it possible or even worthwhile specifying a /usr/bin/apps and /usr/bin/games folder and pointing each folder to their respective drive? Or as both drives are the same make/model would it just be better to use them both as a single virtual volume?
Thanks in advance!
You can. Someone else mentioned fstab and that’s how you’d do it.
Seems like a lot of work though.
Why are you doing things like that?
I can think of a couple of possible reasons:
Space. You just don’t have a big enough single disk to install all the games and media and stuff.
Performance. You might have a fast drive or interface to connect a drive to that’ll make things run quicker.
Plausible deniability: disconnect the games and porno drive and the work from home spyware can’t detect them.
Personal preference: all the porno is in its proper place, all the games are tucked away on their block device. Gods in his heaven.
