Uninstalling the package DEB file does not remove the override.conf file. The error must be corrected. Show me your conf file and tell me about what you’re trying to achieve and I’ll help with it. ---

Tell me what the mount points are for the SSDs and I’ll show you how. Tell me what should go where. Also show the ‘override.conf’ that you have. ---
