I’m a 40 yo single mum. Recently divorced and happy to answer any questions sent to me. I’ve had a few drinks and finally home by myself so thought why not do a wee nsfw Q&A. All questions welcome. DMs are open if u don’t wanna post them publicly. Will answer every questions asked.

      Assuming that you want to do this from the command line, in your /etc/fstab file, you’ll have a text file with five whitespace-separated fields.

      The first field is the path to the device file associated with that hard drive. The second field is where you want it to be mounted — this will need to be an existing directory that you’ve created. The third is the filesystem type. The fourth is a set of mount options; defaults is usually reasonable here, especially if this is SSD. The fifth field, dump frequency, you almost certainly don’t need to deal with — just make it a “0”. The sixth field is the order to run fsck at boot. “0” for never check, “1” for the root filesystem (you don’t want this), “2” for everything else. You almost certainly want “2”.

      You can get a list of existing mounted drives — if you were able to mount the drive after boot, manually — by typing:

      $ mount

      You can get a list of all block devices that you could mount by typing:

      $ blkid

      This will also show the block device’s UUID.

      Generally, if you’re not using the name of an LVM logical volume — and if you are using LVM, you’ll probably know it — you want to use the “UUID” identifier here, since that identifies the hard drive by a unique identifier written to the drive; reordering drives or something won’t change which drive is referred to.

      So you’d have a line that looks something like:

      UUID=3aafadcd-1d21-4c82-97f8-f872f341bde2 /mnt/movies ext4 defaults 0 2

      When you boot your system, the mount should be in place.

      My understanding is that there are graphical desktop environment utilities that provide their own conventions to mount a drive after login to the graphical environment. This is the traditional route for how one would set this up under Linux, though.

    So…do you feel there’s anything you missed out on? Any regrets? Anything you wish you had done sooner?

    And how do you feel now?

    Sorry if this question is a downer… actually not sorry. My experience with women of your age is that you come in knowing a little more about what you do and what you don’ want but you have relatively little compassion for what a prospective partner may or my not want. I have had the following conversation with multiple women.

    Me: so are we doing the thing we planned to do tonight?
    Her: no, sorry one of my kids (young adult but definitely adult) needs me to do X.
    Me: (trying to be good boyfriend): Oh, that’s a shame. but I understand.
    Her: (sensing my disappointment and getting defensive) I’m sorry but my children always come first.

    Here’s the question bit: If your children always come first, and you presumably come second, that means any man that comes in has to be content with third place. Why the fuck should I be content with third place, permanently?

      Do you ever expect to take priority over your partner’s kids? If so, I’m guessing you don’t have kids.

      And I don’t know why you’d assume your partner would always be second.

        If so, I’m guessing you don’t have kids.

        I think this is the answer, probably people with kids need to date other people with kids.
