Hello, last night on a whim, I pulled the cord and finally am making a push to use Linux exclusively. I am not the most knowledgeable when it comes to Linux but I can hold my own enough.

EXCEPT when it comes to mounting drives and making them work with programs. I’ve gotten them wiped and mounted, but steam does not see them as internal drives and at each reboot, they or any games I put on there are gone from steam. They also do not show up with their names I’ve given them during formatting.

Would adding them to fstab fix some of these issues? I know they would at least be mounted before I ever open steam. So maybe there is a chance?

For more info, these are two Samsung 800 series SSD drives. One 250 GB, and the other 500 GB. These are games only SSDs as it’s their only job.

I am on elementary OS version 7.

Any help will be very much appreciated. Thanks for anyone who takes the time to respond.

    Yes, I’ve been on and off using Linux since Mandrake was the go to distro so I’ve gotten some things written to memory but am by no means a master. lol

    I ran across an article last night explaining the UUID thing and quickly grew tired enough to go to bed. Going to have to wrap my head around it at some though it seems as all these lovely comments are leaning that way.
