I've made my own config of conky to display certain things, one of which is the file system (used / total) where linux is. But I don't know how to make it display the other 2 HDDs - used / total.
Looking at the line about the file system
Code:
${color2}${alignc}${fs_used /mnt/} ${color0}/ ${color2}${fs_size}
and assuming /mnt/ represents the mount point, I wonder: if add 2 more lines for the other hard disks and write their mount points (they're spesific, not default ones), will it work? Both HDDs are EXT4.
 


G'day Rado, I am not into Conky seriously yet, but a Google search under

linux conky display all hard drives

revealed a couple of articles, one older and one newer

Are the drives automounted at startup or do you mount them manually?

And are they mounted to /mnt or to /media ?

If you are on Arch, that would likely be eg /run/media/rado

Got to go for my evening, HTH

@rado84 the easiest way is to find another conky that already can display this infos and copy paste the code.
That's the magic of open Open-source software :p :D
 
@wizardfromoz , thanks, I'll check these links.
It is Arch and the path was like that by default but it was too long, so I chose another one for both hard drives: '/media/1000GB' and '/media/500GB'. And yes, they're both automounted on boot.

@CptCharis , I didn't know there were many conkies to choose from.
