I presumed, since you referenced my How-To, that you had chosen a location to mount the drive(s).

In my How-To, I show `/disks` but any non-conflicting name which suits you is perfectly OK.

Underneath that directory is where we place multiple drives – OR – mount a single drive – depending on the case.

It also is written to demonstrate how to cope with NTFS and EXT4 formatted drives. By logical extension, any format supported by Linux can be handled using the technique shown here. In all cases, the goal is to give user plex permission to read your media files which Linux doesn’t allow by default due to its strict security model. We will walk through the steps needed …

After you went through that How-To , where did you decide to put the drive ?  
What did you enter into /etc/fstab for it ?
