Well, one more question: how to add the new disks so they auto mount?

First, their partitions (covering the whole disk) show as:

    /dev/sda1
    /dev/sdc1
    /dev/sdd1

The existing /etc/fstab has only the original disk mounted using its
three partition UUIDs.  But their mount points show as:

    /                ext4
    /boot/efi    vfat
    none         swap

With 'lsblk' showing:

NAME   MAJ:MIN RM   SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
sda      8:0    0   3.6T  0 disk
`-sda1   8:1    0   3.6T  0 part
sdb      8:16   0 465.8G  0 disk
|-sdb1   8:17   0   512M  0 part /boot/efi
|-sdb2   8:18   0 464.3G  0 part /
`-sdb3   8:19   0   976M  0 part [SWAP]
sdc      8:32   0 931.5G  0 disk
`-sdc1   8:33   0 931.5G  0 part
sdd      8:48   0 931.5G  0 disk
`-sdd1   8:49   0 931.5G  0 part

I can manually add the new disk partitions to the /etc/fstab using
their UUIDs but the question is: what mount points should I use? My
gut says use:

    /dev/sda1  ext4
    /dev/sc1    ext4
    /dev/sd1    ext4

Or is there some way to automate that or enter it with another system tool?

Thanks for your patience!
