Edit additional hard disks (rename, change mount points, etc.)

For example, you can view and change this mount point in the /etc/fstab file:
sudo nano /etc/fstabFor example, if you replace "/datadisk" with "/home/YourUserName/Data1TB", the disk will be mounted in the "Data1TB" folder in your /home directory.
 
You must first create this folder in your /home directory and replace it with your user name in the "Yourusername" entry. For example: "/datadisk" by "/home/MaxMuster/Daten1TB". After the change, and after you have created the folder named in the entry, it is sufficient to log on to the system once again. Then the partition is mounted at the new location.
 
This is not yet possible during the pre-installation by TUXEDO Computers, since your user is only set up by you. A "Disk Utility" is not pre-installed. However, you can do this via the terminal without any problems, since the Ubuntu package sources are available:

sudo apt-get install gnome-disk-utilityWith this tool you can change the mount point graphically - but it is recommended to do this via the terminal.
 

If you want to use the second hard disk together with Linux and Windows as dual boot, the following procedure is recommended:

1. Boot Windows, here in the drive management format the hard disk with NTFS.
 
2. In Windows, starting an administrator shell is like this:
 
2.1 In Windows 10, right-click on the Windows icon at the bottom left of the screen to open a context menu. Alternatively, you can press the "Tux" + "X" keys at the same time.
 
2.2 Select the "Command Prompt (Administrator)" option here.

2.3 If you confirm the operation with the "Yes" button, you have access to the console.

3. Execute this command in the shell:

powercfg -h offThis prevents Windows from doing a "Hibernate" instead of the "Shutdown" option. In Hibernate, the hard disks are locked, so you would not be able to access them in Linux after Windows has supposedly been shut down, but instead it does the Hibernate. With this option Windows actually shuts down when you select "Shutdown".

4. Start Linux, there could be a message about a faulty mounting. You can skip this by pressing the "S" key.

5. In Linux, open this file using the terminal command

sudo nano /etc/fstaband edit the line for the hard disk mount point.

Here the file system and the options would have to be changed so that the line looks like this:

/dev/sdb1 /home/Test/DATA ntfs-3g defaults,uid=1000,gid=100,rw 0 2

Of course the mount point "/home/Test/DATA" can be chosen freely. It is important that the destination folder also exists and that the hard disk is formatted according to the declaration (NTFS, ext4 etc.).

With CTRL + X the file can be saved and closed. At the next reboot or via

sudo mount -a it will be mounted according to the specifications.
