Media Library across two or more discs
mwillems:
So I'm confused, you already have two disks mounted, but you talk about getting ready to install a new disk and setting up a second disk above? Do you actually mean a third disk? Or did you already mount your second disk?
In any case, on Linux you can mount a disk at any directory you want, which allows for a lot flexibility. You can even mount the new disk as a subdirectory under your old disk, which is what I would recommend when you have the new disk. But you can see each device's logical name and where it's mounted under your df -h command (i.e. /dev/sda2 is mounted at /media/joaquin/Multimedia, etc.). Until the new disk is attached, you won't know what its logical name will be, but you can partition and format it using a graphical tool like gparted if you want to make your life easier.

Sorry...
Yes, I will mount a 3rd disk.
Currently I have two NVMe discs:
250GB -> boot device where I installed Ubuntu.
2TB -> where my current library is (just data).
I will install another 2TB SSD disk via SATA III (not NVMe this time).

Maybe I'll try GParted then. Will it make my driver automatically mounted forever?
I would like to divide my library like I said by 'classical' music into one disc and 'popular' music onto the other.
Right now I have that mounting point called '/media/joaquim/Multimedia' pointing to my current 2TB disc.
How can I create or modify this mounting point so that in the end I'll have one mounting point called '/media/joaquim/Classical' on one disc and '/media/joaquim/Popular' on the other for instance?

OK, so I've used GPart and now my new disc is partitioned and formatted as Ext4.
Now, what exact line should I add to '/etc/fstab'?
This is what I have now:
I've already created a new directory for the mounting point: /media/joaquim/Multimedia2
My logical name for the new drive is '/dev/sda'

Thanks!
Looks like I have currently a lot of options on my 'old' disc.
I have no idea what they mean as I followed the instructions of some other guru here at the time so I'll check on your link if they are needed for this new mount or if "default" is enough.
