# steam-drive-mounter

## Label, auto-mount your dedicated Steam library drive/partition on a second NVMe.

(A helper script for setting up your **secondary** NMVe drive on Framework Laptop 16 [to use with Steam](https://github.com/FrameworkComputer/dri_prime1-detection/blob/main/README.md#beginner-method-for-ubuntu-lts))

### Features:

- Detects all drives and partitions available.

- Provides a CLI prompt to select your desired games partition to be used.

- Labels said partition as steamgames (only if selected and only if not already labeled as such).

- Handles permissions and ownership automatically, plus provides the auto-mount entry in fstab.

- Creates a systemd service that checks the ownership/permissions at each boot - extreme, but it's a failsafe.

  - chown $USER:$USER /media/$USER/steamgames

  - chmod 700 /media/$USER/steamgames

- Seperate python script to remove the systemd service and related permission file.

### Requirements:

- Python3

- Tested on Bluefin, but should work on Fedora Workstation and Ubuntu just fine.

- Drive or partition that is formatted as ext4, ready to be used for Steam games.
