The editor mostly used to edit fstab, "vi" is a really weird tool, kind of a dinosaur. Of course I created an own user without superuser rights for all my photo work. I added "users" because all users should be able to read and write ("rw") on the 2nd HDD. (The UUID of the drive can be figured out with $ blkid) You just need to add one single line to fstab. It took me an hour or two until I managed to understand what to do and how to do it but is actually no rocket science. I managed to format it as ext4 with the graphical interface but permanent mounting did not work - don't know what I did wrong. I bought a 4 TB internal HDD (Seagate BarraCuda) to add space for my photos. But I am sure there are others who are happy to see a description. I was a Linux user until 10 years ago but forgot too many things After about two weeks (of course I could only work on it in my spare time) I had a working system, and it is fun to use! It is incredible what you can do without a big investment. Here I want to report about my experience in setting up a photo management system on Linux Mint. Now I was lucky to obtain a PC from a friend with Linux Mint Ulyana Cinnamon, so I have my own system which is really cool. I've always shared my Windows laptop with my family. I've been a darktable for Windows user for about one and a half years.
