Linux drive issue

sunna · 01-17-2022, 09:43 PM

One of my laptops kept crashing Windows, so I installed Linux instead. Linux had problems with it being a two-disk RST, so I changed it to AHCI and it worked fine for all my apps except for Calibre (also the native e-book reader that I don't like); they couldn't find the drive that contains my library. Is there a setting that needs to be changed?

There are no drives on linux. All disks are mounted somewhere under /. Simply point calibre to wherever that is.

Thanks, I'm new to Linux. I entered "/DATA/Documents/Ebooks/epubs" and "/home/DATA/Documents/Ebooks/epubs" and either way it says it's "not an existing folder". Other programs have been able to find it, however.

I worked it out. Sorry to bother you.

In modern Linux distros, it will often appear under /media/username/.
