Which distro are you on?

That didn’t be a problem. Appreciate it 👍

Awesome possum. Thanks

I’m pretty neurotic about that anyway, but this drive is only external because I ran out of headers; I don’t plan on ever unplugging it. I do appreciate the info though

This is the most technical reply I’ve read thus far, and I appreciate the information. This seems like something I would’ve been pulling my hair out over relatively soon.

While I do not plan on using this drive for games, I will either do this, or possibly dual-boot bazzite, so I appreciate the info.

Portable is a strong word. It’s not so much a portable drive as it is a desktop external HDD that utilizes USB for data transfer. Technically portable, but not really made to toss in your pocket. It wouldn’t be an external drive if I hadn’t run out of headers before I wanted it. And I already had stuff on my other drives so I couldn’t just swap one out. I mean, I could, but I dedicate them to things - system drive, games, raw video captures to edit, exported videos that have been edited / miscellaneous, and then this external drive for phone backups and archived media.

I shudder to think of “if anything goes wrong.” I really need some sort of redundancy for this drive. It all started with “I’m going to get a big drive so I can backup my phone,” and it’s grown to “I have 5 phones worth of memories and 3 terabytes of YouTube channels downloaded onto this single drive.” lol

Awesome. And good idea, lol.

Nice. Thanks :)
