Mount partition $~: mount /media/plex-media.Open /etc/fstab file with root permissions: $~: sudo nano /etc/fstabĪnd add following to the end of the file: UUID=33bcb61a-8c12-40af-a66d-1f7e8961fc9b /media/plex-media ext4 defaults 0 1 Create a mount point $~: sudo mkdir /media/plex-media.To achieve this, you need to perform three simple steps: Now you need to mount it to utilize it’s precious space.

If you want to extend your current HDD we wrote a guide that you can find here. We use VMware ESXi, and in this guide we will add another hard drive to the VM and mount it as a second drive.
