Ik bro, but having whole bunch of random numbers as mount point seems less intuitive to me.

My simple brain can't understand it bro. 🥲

Good idea bro.

Linux doesn't care where you mount your drives, they can be mounted anywhere you want.

Thank You

Oh. BTRFS is alien to me man. But a lot of people recommending it to counter the storage constraints. I have to learn it first.

So, if I use chmod, I get the access and other users (if any) are free to do so.

In case of chown, I get the full access and others can't gain access unless I permit.

Right?

I use chown 000 so that regular users fail to access a directory when no filesystem is mounted on it

My dummy brain can't understand it man.

Isn't someone can't access a directory when no filesystem is mounted on it the default behaviour?

Thanks.

Thanks for heads up man

Jesse, WTF are you talking about?

Thank You.

All of utilities you suggested are awesome.

Which one do you suggest? And why?

How about just another partition on the same disk though?

Thanks.

Thank You for detailed information.

I think I should learn more about BTRFS and practice installing or converting it in VM.

If you only want backups of your files

Actually, I want to backup my system as I'm new to Linux, there is that I will break the system. So, setting up my system from ground again due to some silly mistake I made is tiresome. Also I have separate Storage drive for personal files.

BTRFS.

I'm afraid about the compatibility of BTRFS ( not like system drive need any compatibility ). Does it have a good community support as ext4?

It's not very friendly when it's almost full

?

don't run wine as root.

why? windows virus?

Thanks.

Thank You for the detailed answer.

chmod vs chwon ?
