If you do so, you will also greatly support my channel by helping me to get more content out for you!

You really need to keep making content like this series. Everyday Linux usage is much needed. I was NOT aware of the mhddfs/fuse function and I watch a LOT of Linux content. Thanks.

The file /dev/sda4 does not exist and no size was specified. this shows up after i try to format it with mkfs.ext4

Tech Guides, I just started watching this video. I like doing this because within a few seconds it is quite easy to gauge the customer relations (lack of arrogance), ability and forthright information style of the presenter. Tech Guides (at least this man in the video) your attitude just wants me to keep on watching. Kudos. I just had to say this. Back to work...:)

How did you learn to use Linux?? I want to learn but don’t know the route or classes to take to learn. thanks, new subscriber

[armanchok]

Very comprehensive explanation. Visited ip vanish. Thanks for the 0 log info. As a hint to what might be also interesting: 1) Backing up data to prevent data loss with two disks or smthing. Maybe a simple script to activate once in a while 2)Some videos on security and routine disk management.

Thanks for the guides.
I am looking forward to the nextcloud tutorial....

[leonoliveira]

This really was the most painless way of adding a hard drive to my OS. Old one was dying on me, so before it fully dies, new disk and try to backup stuff asap.

[dlcrdz]

Great content Tech Guides!! How can I partition a hard drive that already has an OS on it? I want to split the drive and reuse part of the space on the drive that isnt being used

[SangNguyenQuang-pjxt]

Sir, after deleted the old partitions, i want to merge that disk with the disk cotain linux system into 1 disk, can you help me ?

[TheAvisionary]

I notice that at 2:40 you show a mount point for cloud1. Is it necessary to create this mount point before you mkfs.ext4?
Will you explain why you created the mount point in the first place? Thanks for the videos btw.

[utpaldeka]

Awesome!! Was waiting for this video for d last one month!!

[feralshadw]

im a complete noob to linux, it took me a long time to figure out that when mounting the drives with the "mount -a" that I have to first create the cloud folders in mnt folder in the root directory. I was trying to create them in the default directory of my name... I kept getting an error that said they did not exist

[beckster]

this is a little out of date as of 13 feb 2020 in the fstab uuid section BUT if you copy the already listed drives for your OS drive and list it as shown the rest is same it is that you have to add more than just uuid= before you include the uuid
