I have 2 SDD, 250G and 1TB. the first one (250gb) has umbrel installed. I want to store the blocks in the 2nd one (1tb). Its mounted under /mnt/data-disk/bitcoin/blocks/ I already tried creating a bitcoin.conf with “blocksdir=/mnt/data-disk/bitcoin/blocks/” but bitcoind not even start. Any idea? ---

I simply mounted a drive (for me it is iscsi, for you it will be your SSD) to the bitcoin volume mount. ```auto sudo mount /dev/sdb /home/userfolder/umbrel/app-data/bitcoin/data/bitcoin ``` After that add an entry into fstab and reboot to test. ```auto ~$ sudo nano /etc/fstab /dev/disk/by-id/ssdid /home/userolder/umbrel/app-data/bitcoin/data/bitcoin ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 2 ~$ sudo reboot ``` Then log back in and run df -h command which should list all the partitions and sizes ```auto ~$ df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on tmpfs 393M 2.2M 391M 1% /run /dev/sda1 16G 5.7G 11G 36% / tmpfs 2.0G 0 2.0G 0% /dev/shm tmpfs 5.0M 0 5.0M 0% /run/lock /dev/sda15 105M 5.3M 100M 5% /boot/efi /dev/sdb 984G 446G 488G 48% /home/userfolder/umbrel/app-data/bitcoin/data/bitcoin tmpfs 393M 4.0K 393M 1% /run/user/1000 ```
