I often add or remove hard disks or SSDs. Below is what I always do (maybe insecure, but very easy). For your reference: 1. Connect to hard disk or SSD to your system. Create partition(s) and format them. Get the UUID. 2. Create mount points (sub-directories) under home directory

I'm so happy to see you continue to dig into antiX's plumbing. Isn't it an absolutely wonderful conceptual approach? I did not know that Devuan was wasting time removing those references. That's an interesting point, I'm going to need to explore further. As far as waiting on Devuan, they
