rtxn,

I should correct myself - it wasn’t a bad way to mount my drives, but it was a very Windowsy solution that I came to regret anyways.

I used that HDD as basically my home directory on Windows. It had all of my projects on it (mainly C# and Blender). When I installed Manjaro on my 240G SSD, I decided to leave my /home directory on the root partition, but it soon filled up. I later wanted to move it to the HDD, which meant that the mount point had changed, which meant that I had to relink all external files in my projects to the new mount point.

I could’ve just used a symlink that pointed /home to /mnt/f, but /mnt is generally used for manually mounted filesystems, and I wanted to at least have that and /home done properly.

Right now I have a 2T NVMe SSD, one 200G partition mounted as root, the rest mounted as /data/games (and it really only has Windows games and my Steam library), a separate 1T SSD mounted as /home, and a 3T HDD on /data/hdd that contains my backups, disk images, and large media files, each symlinked to appropriate places.
