This may be a bit tricky for beginners. Setting this data folder to set where you store your data (your work, project, photos, etc) permanently.

lsblk

For example, the new partition is sda5.

Open terminal and type :

sudo chown yourusername /mnt

Go to /mnt and create new folder DATA

sudo umount /dev/sda5

sudo mount /dev/sda5 /mnt/DATA

Open the fstab file with text editor . This file location is in /etc/fstab.

Add a new line with this :

UUID=9fa4713f-8f7f-4789-a807-7c8f39cfa58d /mnt/DATA ext4 defaults 0 2
