As title says I have a direct attached storage attached to a Linux machine (that used to be windows). Said raid system started as being called ./Raid and is now after 2 restarts of of the lap top it is now ./Raid2. Is there a way to make it not change names every time I do a restart. I did some looking online but don’t want to do something that will ruin the content that is on those drives.

Thanks

    Just mount it to a fixed location in /etc/fstab, but use a mount option like nofail or nobootwait (quick search showed that this is the option for ubuntu users), so your machine still boots when the drive is not connected

      is /fstab a folder? Or do you mean change that actual file?

        /etc/fstab is a file that controls auto mount points at boot. You can read about it with the command man fstab, or search up how to add something to it in a search engine. There are plenty of resources to help you online with creating a mount in the fstab.
