    So where am i supposed to mount my permanent other file systems?

    I used to mount them to home, after realizing how much headache that was causing i moved them to mnt. Surely that makes the most sense?

      I usually put them in /media, so my games drive for example lives in /media/games.

      Seems to mostly fit with the usual external media that gets mounted there.

        Yup, that’s what I do too. Mine are mounted to /media/user/ by default.

      /mnt is reasonable and normal. I have used /mnt, /data, /media for various hardware and software mounted storage. It really doesn’t matter unless you’re dealing with some specific software or organization with esoteric requirements.

      /mnt or /media usually. I use /mnt for permanent filesystems and /media for removable ones but there are no hard rules. My home folder is a separate filesystem from my rootfs, just depends on how you want things setup.
