For a Friend In need to install Debian 10.
His pc has 1 SSD for system and 1 SSD with musicfiles.

How can I, during installation, couple this drive during partitioning?

Do I add the drive as /music so that it is included in fstab?

I use ssd for os and /home and a separate drive fore data

The data drive is of course mounted with fstab

yes, that is the plan but the question is: do I (during partitioning) "couple" the drive with the command

/music

Is that the correct way to do it?

you can mount it during installation, just don't overwrite that drive. It will then be put in fstab automatically.

Ok, and the /music without formatting is the way to go or will it mount automatically without doing something during partitioning?
