Tobias, or?Always a bit scary editing the #fstab file. Trying to share the SteamLibrary folder with the kid so he doesn't fill his home folder with crap games.
Graham PerrinOperation not permitted probably because the ESP-related mount was unnecessary (it already existed).
Check the default /etc/fstab
This 2021 commit might be the milestone first of a series of commits that simplified things:

Mount the EFI system partition (ESP) on newly-installed systems. · freebsd/freebsd-src@0b7472b
Per hier(7), the ESP will be mounted at /boot/efi. On UFS systems, any existing ESP will be reused and mounted there; otherwise, a new one will be made. On ZFS systems, space for an ESP is allocate...
Tushar ChauhanA question for my knowledgeable friends:
I have an LVM with two VGs, one on each disk. VG1 has swap, / and a large empty LV (say, VG1-LV3). VG2 has my /home. I want to store my dropbox folder in VG1-LV3 (VG1 is my slower, replaceable storage). Question:
How do I mount it to /home/X/Dropbox so that it ONLY mounts for user X, and works on any login (ssh, shell, DE).
A simple fstab with uid,gid makes it visible to all.

"… raw device nodes. Nothing in the system appears to check the underlying partition type when enabling swap on these devices, so if you plug in another device and things are renumbered then swapping will write nonsense over a different partition …
"I think I have filed bugs about all of these issues. It would be great if folks looking to improve the installer could consider some of them. …"
Nothing open for swap with the 'install' keyword:
Kai Klostermann#arch community: I want to mount a #webdav storage to my filesystem. I want to follow the #davfs2 wiki as described here https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Davfs2. I'm a bit confused over the #systemd section. Do I really have to configure mount units manually? Like I would have expected that it takes whatever is configured in #fstab?

GiamedinLess than a week into my first foray into #Linux and I am already contemplating a different flavour. I spent yesterday backing everything up to my NAS and will try reinstalling the #mint #cinnamon version I started out with.
I’m going to have to try and figure out how to mount my NAS properly in #fstab based on this post: https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=326160
Currently it’s invisible unless I enable Time Machine functionality on the NAS. Then it’s inexplicably visible on network.

joThis mornings "lets do some quick updates and reboot while staying in the bed"-session got me out of the bed, because the server did not come online again.
Turns out: If you mount thin-provisioned #LVM logical volumes with #fstab you need thin-provisioning-tools, otherwise the #systemd unit fails during boot. And that package is not a dependency, only recommended on #Debian #Trixie and for some reason wasn't installed on my system.
