Mounting (and automounting) internal HDDs

cn flag

I had Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS installed in my Desktop PC, in my 1tB HDD, and I had an extra 1tb HDD for storing files. I've bought an 250GB SSD and did a fresh install of the same OS in it. Didn't change anything else in my hardware. Everything is working fine except...

Only ONE of my two extra 1tb internal HDDs was auto-mounting (located at /dev/sdc2). That's the one where the old Ubuntu was installed. I left it at that because I didn't have time to work it out. I didn't even remove the old OS, thought I'd do it later on.

However, after a month or so, I turn on my computer and I only see the OTHER hdd mounted (/dev/sdb1). Now I can't mount the one I was using before (sdc2).

running sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdc gives me this output:

Disk /dev/sdc: 931,53 GiB, 1000204886016 bytes, 1953525168 sectors
Disk model: ST1000VM002-1ET1
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 4096 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 4096 bytes / 4096 bytes
Disklabel type: gpt
Disk identifier: C8B5CAE8-8208-4C35-93EA-E249B95B53EF

Device       Start        End    Sectors  Size Type
/dev/sdc1     2048    1050623    1048576  512M EFI System
/dev/sdc2  1050624 1953523711 1952473088  931G Linux filesystem

Using disks, I can see /sdc1 is mounted, but can't mount the other one.

I really want both extra HDDs to auto-mount. I'll probably format sdc once I get it working again, but I really need some files that I have there before I can do it.

running sudo mount /dev/sdc2 /mnt/hdd1tb gives me the following error:

mount: /mnt/hdd1tb: unknown filesystem type 'LVM2_member'.

I do have the latest version of lvm2, however.

Please consider I'm a relatively new user and do most stuff via GUI.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
