From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Can you post your fstab?
And your lsblk-f
command not found
Are you sure? That seems unlikely. Wray does pacman -Qi util-linux say?
Also see this: https://wiki.cachyos.org/configuration/automount_with_fstab/
Nevermind, I didn't put a space for -f
Then please post the output of lsblk -f.
All you need to do after that is to take the UUID and add it to /etc/fstab.
Thank you. I've since changed the mount point to /media/user/drive folder with gnome disk utility. They now boot up no problem, but I've hit some other snags haha. The mount point is owned by me but the drives themselves are root with full privileges for all users (not sure if that's normal, chown does nothing). I can manually create, delete, move, etc in the drives but my media server (emby) can access everything but cannot create or modify, it says the drives are read only. I can't remember the command I used to check but the all seem to be rw enabled. I can't change the group to emby from root either, chown seems like it succeeds but permissions don't change. They're also all fuseblk filesystem now.
Everything but the server seems to be working but I don't feel like it's right with permissions. After Ubuntu Studio I thought I'd have a handle on going to arch-based haha, everything else is perfect it's just this drive stuff that's not right.
