HDDs not showing up after migrating from windows (lemmy.world)

After installing Bazzite this morning, everything is working great except that my hard drives (2x 4 TB) are not showing up.

I previously used them on Windows for my media and plex server (which I still have dual booted while I get my bearings on Linux), but they’re not showing in Linux.

Any ideas?

I’m not sure exactly how Bazzite differs, but I ran into a similar issue when I switched from Windows to Ubuntu. Ubuntu could see the drives, but they weren’t mounted, so I couldn’t access them. I used a utility that I think is just called “Disks,” but it might be a Gnome specific utility so I don’t know if it works on Bazzite. With that utility I was able to set the drives up to mount automatically at startup.

Try going to your file manager and looking for something like “other locations.” If your system can see the drives, they might show up there, and you might be able to mount them that way.

Good luck!

Your "Disks" is GNOME Disks, btw

Yeah I kinda thought it was, I just wasn’t home to double check. I’m not sure which DE OP is using, though.

Yeah I have a couple ntfs drives I didn't want to clear completely and start over with so I just created a directory, mounted them there and gave permissions for whatever the username is that is in jellyfin (plex in this case).

Quick work around. During a fresh install I just remount, give permissions and map them as a library and all is well. As with most things, doing it while being shit faced drunk doesn't make it quicker though. That only works for cutting hair
