Thank you.

So far liking it.

Surely just copying the files over should do the job?

It gives me an error ‘cannot copy special files’. Even when doing as root.

The article confuses me a bit. But I’ll look into it.

Thank you.

Does this mean upcoming distros can have the drivers inbuilt? NVIDIA Cards working out of the box? I’m Out of the Loop.

If I want something to be deleted, then I could just edit it before the deletion? So it should be gone sooner this way, if ever.

Didn’t think about it, gonna use that.

There are also problems like the above case.

Also let’s say some instance have i//egal content on it, it would take only one user from your instance to see that content, and now you are hosting the i/lega/ content.

Thanks bro.

Thanks for the info.

/mnt is not for everything, it is a temporary mount point.

Even if I mount fixed drives on /mnt, there won’t be any problems, right ?

Thanks for the heads up.

I have no idea man. Seems fine though.

Not /mnt and not /media

Why though?

what kind of data

Just media files, downloads, images , music kinda stuff.

OS “replaces” its contents AND permissions with that of the filesystem’s root.

So, the original content is lost forever?

setting permissions is just extreme pedantry

So, what’s the actual use case of it though? Even though it’s pedantry, it still there has to be some benefits, right?

I mean, What’s the need for you to deny the access of /mnt/a untill has mounted with something? One can just leave it as it is, right?

I don’t understand the need to caching the content instead just accessing it on the go.

The answer to your question why is because I arbitrarily decided on that years ago. That’s basically all there is to it.

Thanks for clarifying bro

Ik bro, but having whole bunch of random numbers as mount point seems less intuitive to me.

My simple brain can’t understand it bro. 🥲

Good idea bro.

Linux doesn’t care where you mount your drives, they can be mounted anywhere you want.

Thank You

Oh. BTRFS is alien to me man. But a lot of people recommending it to counter the storage constraints. I have to learn it first.

So, if I use chmod, I get the access and other users (if any) are free to do so.

In case of chown, I get the full access and others can’t gain access unless I permit.

Right?
