I used Mounting Guide but my drive doesnt automount
I followed the bazzite mounintg guide, but the drive always need manual mounting.
Here is my fstab:

#New Partition /var/mnt/games /var/mnt/games defaults,compress-force=zstd:3,noatime,lazytime,commit=120,space_cache=v2,nofail 0 0

try putting the file between 3 backticks like
```
content
```
it will show up like
doesnt work with the backticks 🤷♂️
copy paste fairy has arrived
looks correct to me
if you do
sudo systemctl daemon-reload && sudo mount -a does /var/mnt/games gets mounted?No.
its just empty?
It has this yellow unplugged sign in dolphin and steam didnt recognize it
When I click it in dolphin it mounts
the problem is mounting from dolphin will put it to different folder
btw did you create the /var/mnt/games?
Yes I created that folder
if anyone needs a comparison heres my fstab
what is
sudo lsblk -f
hmm
can you explain what you did on kde part mgr?
like if possible in a detailed way, is it like what docs suggested?
At first I created a new partition. Then I followed the mounting guide..
Maybe I did something wrong on formatting unallocated space
did you create subvols for btrfs in nvme0n1p5? your games drive?
No
ok how did you create the btrfs partition/volume?
KDE Par Mngr: Right click -> new, Assigned space and click ok
Ahh and I set the label games
uhhh im not sure if thats the proper way to set up a btrfs volume
ah ok
So what to do?
also the uuid in your fstab doesnt match
so to make sure, you want to mount the nvme0n1p5 with label "games"?
yes
edit you fstab last entry uuid to that partition uuid
should be the 3f5...
i suggest using
micro but use whatever you are comfortable withalso just to be sure, are you on main or testing? i assume testing, since you minded the note in the automount docs?
the automounting already landed in stable
ok, thx.
but for some reason the version is too old so it doesnt work lol
after that make sure you dont reboot until you make sure that
sudo systemctl daemon-reload && sudo mount -a doesnt spit out any error
or you can end up with emergency modeI dont know the difference tbh 😄
But edit the uuid did the trick
thx
oh great
dont know why it was wrong though
if you want to know if youre on stable or testing, just check rpm-ostree status
thanks so muc. It took me some hours now 😄
could be various thing but glad it worked now
And Im on stable. So thanks
also fyi you can also mount by label instead of UUID, so instead of UUID=3f571447-... you can do LABEL=games (only works if partition is labeled)
like
but hey if it aint broke
uuid is usually safer tho
yeah fair, esp if you interact with lots of drives
Yeah thats good to know. Now I should be fine and will edit fstab myself from start from now on.
you should avoid editing fstab directly if you can
Best practice would be?
use gui
kk
also the automounter should be fixed :SoonTM: , you shouldnt need to do this in the future
