I'm pretty dumb so I came here to get help modify /etc/fstab so that my 2nd hard drive works

Okay well I cheated a little bit and used the GUI for part of it but it used the drive UUID and then I got it to boot! However the permissions still show the user and group as “root” and I think that’s still a problem.

UUID=c2f92357-b8f2-441f-8c99-eb076d5bcb9a /run/media/WD930 ext4 defaults 0 0

<fsck> sets the order for file system checks at boot time; see fsck(8). For the root device it should be 1. For other partitions it should be 2, or 0 to disable checking.

From the wiki it seems like it should be okay for the to be “0” so I have something to figure out yet.

this thread seems to address it How do I change ownership for a hard disk?

WHOOP THERE IT IS
sudo chown -R xiaohan:xiaohan /run/media/WD930/

hmmm last thing that looks wrong is that it seems to have a complete linux file tree of its own as if it were a main or boot drive
