Storage drives not in home

safn1949

I have 3 storage drives that show up. However, my 2tb nvme with Linux Mint does not show up from the home folder. Is there any way to access it? All storage drives are EXT4. Thanks. GhostBSD is formated ZFS.

FreeBSD Handbook Chapter 23 has instructions for mounting Ext4 partitions as read only. If you need Read/Write, you have to change the mounting options.

EXAMPLES
To mount a ext2fs volume located on /dev/ada1s1:

mount -t ext2fs /dev/ada1s1 /mnt
first time only, create a mounting point directory to use:
mkdir -p /mnt/linux
alternative command:
mount_ext2fs /dev/ada1s1 /mnt/linux
or to mount an ext2 or ext3 or ext4 partition /dev/da0p3
mount_ext2fs /dev/da0p3 /mnt/linux

google search "freebsd mount ext2"
mount to see what parttions are mounted
df -h to see the disk free space on all mounted partitions. Another method to identify mounted partitions .
umount /mnt/linux or umount /dev/ada1s1 to unmount a partition from the file system.

su root become the super user login id 'root' administrator. Use directory names that are meaningful and useful to your workflow needs.
mkdir /home/linux01
mkdir /home/linux02
mkdir /mnt/fred01
mkdir /mnt/da1p2
mkdir /mnt/msdos
ls -l /mnt
ls -l /home

wish you Merry Christmas and the best workflow on GhostBSD! I am glad to help you out.
