time for a fair while getting it set up

That's a sacrifice I'm willing to make.

Also for some reason lemmy seems to rarely duplicate some comments. Now I'm seeing two of your same comment and two of my same reply.

So you suggest not to mount like the guy above said /home/stoy/videos ?

And suggest symlinks instead?

If I'm not wrong LVM is a method which joins all your disk into single storage pool.

Let's say I stored data all across my LVM, now I suddenly remove one of the disks. What happen now?

Also can I add more disks to LVM later?

Where should I mount my internal drive partitions?

As far as I searched on the internet, I came to know that

/Media = mount point for removable media that system do it itself ( usb drive , CD )

/Mnt = temporarily mounting anything manually

I can most probably mount anything wherever I want, but if that's the case what's the point of /mnt? Just to be organised I suppose.

TLDR

If /mnt is for temporary and /media is for removable where should permanent non-removable devices/partitions be mounted. i.e. an internal HDD which is formatted as NTFS but needs to be automounted at startup?

Asking with the sole reason to know that, what's the practice of user who know Linux well, unlike me.

I know this is a silly question but I asked anyway.

Official Unixporn Community ? (lemmy.today)
 

So which one is actually official one? I can't describe what "official" mean here, maybe the one that actually came from reddit or the one with more subsscribers or one with more activity ?

Also Why there are multiple copies of same community in different instances? Isn't the whole point of lemmy is that it is federated?
