Using 2nd Harddrive
CLICKING the STAR in the UPPER RIGHT promotes our PROJECT on GITHUB! - WARNING, PLEASE VISIT https://plexguide.com/wikis/ - This is the old wiki!
Works, need cleaning up
Situation: Have a 250GB SSD and a second 2TB harddrive? The problem that you'll run into with PlexGuide is that all of your stuff downloading and uploading will target your PRIMARY DRIVE (in this example, the 250GB SSD). The following instructions will assist you in SETTING up your second harddrive.
To check, type df -h and if you notice your OTHER HD not there, you need to follow the steps below.
These notes are very loose, just added, please be patient
