  • So just to help a little bit without getting too technical…

    df -h is your friend to find out which physical drive or partition relates to which directory (called the “mount point”)

    If you want, you can set up each drive/partition to be mounted a bit Windows-esque.

    For example:

    • Drive 1, partition 1 will almost certainly be root /
    • But drive 1, partition 2 can be mounted to: /mnt/d/
    • And then drive 1, partition 3 can be mounted to: /mnt/e/

    And so on.

    You’ll need to look up fstab to understand how to do that.

    I understand it’s tricky to get your head around initially as I felt exactly the same coming from Windows to Linux.

    Once you get your head around partitions being able to be mounted anywhere, it actually becomes really handy
