-# Auto-Mount Steam Drives
-
-If you want to see how to install Steam on Linux, see my other post: [Linux
-Software](../linux-software/).
-
-Are you having trouble launching games, even though they've installed correctly?
-This may happen if you're storing your games on an NTFS-formatted drive. This
-shouldn't be an issue if you're storing your games on the same drive that Steam
-is on, but some gamers prefer to put Steam on their main drive and game files on
-another SSD or HDD.
-
-To fix this problem, you'll need to try a few things. First, you'll need to
-install the `ntfs-3g` package, which is meant for better interoperability with
-Linux.
-
-```sh
-sudo apt install ntfs-3g
-```
-
-Next, you should set up the `/etc/fstab` file to automatically mount your drives
-on boot. To automatically mount your drives when the computer boots up, you'll
-have to create the folders you want to mount your drive to first. I store mine
-in the `/mnt` folder using names that I'll recognize, but you can create your
-folders wherever you want.
-
-```sh
-mkdir /path/to/folder
-```
-
-For example:
-
-```sh
-mkdir /mnt/steam_library
-```
-
-To automatically mount drives upon system boot, you will need to collect a few
-items. The UUID is the identification number connected to whichever drive you're
-using to store Steam games.
-
-Drives are usually labeled similar to `/dev/nvme0n1p1` or `/dev/sda1`, so you'll
-need to find the line in the output of the command below that correlates to your
-drive and copy the UUID over to the `/etc/fstab` file.
-
-```sh
-sudo blkid | grep UUID=
-```
-
-Next, you'll need your `uid` and `gid`. To find these, run the following
-command:
-
-```sh
-id -u && id -g
-```
-
-Now that you have collected the necessary information, open the `/etc/fstab`
-file:
-
-```sh
-sudo nano /etc/fstab
-```
-
-Each drive you want to mount on boot should have its own line in the
-`/etc/fstab` file that looks similar to this:
-
-```config
-UUID=B64E53824E5339F7 /mnt/steam_library ntfs-3g uid=1000,gid=1000 0 0
-```
-
-Now all you need to do is unmount your drive and re-mount it. You can unmount
-the drive by doing this (be sure to use the correct drive name here):
-
-```sh
-sudo umount /dev/sdxX
-```
-
-You can re-mount all your drives by executing the following:
-
-```sh
-sudo mount -a
-```
-
-If you don't know what your drive name is, or you're nervous about unmounting
-and re-mounting, simply reboot your computer, and it will be done for you
-automatically.
