  I don’t do anything special. When I connect the device to my machine by USB, it is recognized and mounts itself. Once that happens, it becomes connectable via CLI and GUI. Very much like what happens in a windows or mac environment.

    Ah. Personally I’d do the mounting via fstab to get a consistent path.

      Just remember to use the nofail option so that it doesn’t halt the boot process if it’s not available.

      Got it. Thanks. I’ll try that. It won’t wipe my existing data, right?

        It should be safe, using fstab is how I do a network mount to a specific folder also so it doesn’t change or anything.
