You did mention a "main drive". I don't know what's taking all that space on your SSD but if you have a media library that takes some space you could move that to a connected HDD. While HDDs aren't good as a boot drive it does the job well enough with most "standard" quality media. So can be said for documents and more obviously. You can then auto-mount your other drive to be inside your home directory for seemless access.
One thing that isn't mentionned but I'll just say this just in case. Always have external backups. I've scared myself way too many times thinking I had lost my main drive's data just to find it the next day on one of my backup. Really a life saver if your setup has a problem where you find that one forum post from 12y ago with a "Nvm I fixed it" marked as [FIXED].
Other than that, thanks for sharing and with the solution at that.
Yeah, my other drive is a 1TB HDD, and I do have all my media/documents/pictures/etc. there, I think what's filling up my drive is actually plugins for Ardour lol, plus I might have too many Things I Definitely Need™. Maybe the real solution to my storage problems is to look within... (like do I seriously need No Man's Sky installed all the time for the once every three months that I play it?)
But yeah, I wanna set up a NAS for this sort of thing, next time I have money lol
That sound's like the data is in semi-regular use at least. For me it's more like "Do I seriously need the sequel installed for that other game I haven't even started yet, but am definitely going to start any day now, after years of having it installed?".
Creating your own linux-based nas is a very fun project!
