My XPS desktop has 1 TB M.2 PCle NVMe SSD + 2TB 7200RPM 3.5" SATA HDD hard disks. And I just installed the Ubuntu 18.04 on my SSD harddisk. and it's my first time to use Linux system

When I look at my "Disks" Utility, I saw the SSD used as Linux LVM, and HDD is Linux Filesystem (Ext 4 -- mounted at /media/username/UUID number). Files GUI

I am wondering if I can link it as another large "Data" folder just like "Desktop" or "Document" shown in "Files"?

Currently, when I type "ls" in the terminal, it shows: Desktop Download Music Public Videos Documents Pictures Templates

what I can do to show a "Data" folder which links to 2TB HDD hard disk (/dev/sda2)?

and when I want to access it in the terminal, the name is too long, something like:

username@username-XPS-8930:~$ cd /media/username/4c86ba4b-5246-4934-bc9c-eabb85e44c76

That's why I am wondering if I can access it through

username@username-XPS-8930:~$ cd Data

  • The HDD should appear in the left panel of the file manager. There is usually no need to do any linking. It is unclear if access it from the question. – mikewhatever Apr 29 '20 at 21:05
  • @mikewhatever pic attached, I have to access it from "other location', while I am wondering if I can directly see it in the left panel – Vickyyyyyy Apr 29 '20 at 21:44
  • Is there some reason for LVM on SSD, but then not on HDD. LVM is more for advanced users, but if you must have encryption, you have to use LVM.
