Hello,

The title says it, and the attached files illustrate it.

Hello @jojopara :wink:

Could you please open a terminal and provide these information?

mount | egrep "sd[a-z][0-9]+|nvme[0-9]n[0-9]"
lsblk --fs
cat /etc/fstab

Also check this:

The output to egrep "sd[a-z][0-9]+|nvme[0-9]n[0-9]" is:

The output to cat /etc/fstab is:

# be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices that works even if

So that are these ones:

/dev/sdb2 is correct, since this the way how it should be mounted by the file manager.

/dev/nvme0n1p4 is mounted manually or by fstab. The folder is named here manually, what can be changed at any time.

There are rare situations where partitions have the same UUID. In the case generate a new one:

Check if it has the correct UUID:

sudo blkid /dev/sdb2

Unmount this partition:

sudo umount /dev/sdb2

Generate a new UUID:

sudo tune2fs -U random /dev/sdb2

Check again, if the UUID has been changed:

sudo blkid /dev/sdb2

That should work. Now you can mount it with the new UUID. :wink:

  1. In the future, when providing code/output, please copy-paste that output in-between 3 backticks ``` at the beginning and end of the code/text so that the output looks like this:

    Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.
    Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.

    Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.
    

    instead of like this:

    Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.

Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.`

    (as that makes both our lives much easier)
