Hello,
So I have two drives in my laptop, a 128gb nvme ssd and a 1tb 2.5" ssd. I want to use the fast nvme ssd for the system, but I want to use the 2.5" ssd for Steam games. I have done some searching the web and am left confused. How do i mount the 2.5" ssd as a subvolume on the same filesystem to home/{username}/Games/steam? I do not want to use raid or let the system drive "merge" with the steam drive through rebalancing the file system. When looking it up, would $ btrfs device add /dev/sda /home/{username}/Games/steam make the system files spread over to the steam drive? I mean like the system files from / take space on the Steam drive? I have installed Garuda to the nvme ssd already, I just need to setup steam.
I could be completely wrong. Sorry for the dumb question. Any response is appreciated!
