plexpi 1.2
Just loaded this image on my pi. Love it so far. But how do i permanently mount a USB external drive so I can read it across my home network. This is also so I can transfer my new movies directly to the external drive without unplugging and plugging it back to the pi.
I'm also trying to SSH into the pi via my terminal (Mac) but don't know the user name and password.
thanks for your help in advance

Thanks all for your input.
df -h gives me:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/root 6.2G 5.0G 980M 84% /
devtmpfs 460M 0 460M 0% /dev
tmpfs 464M 7.6M 457M 2% /dev/shm
tmpfs 464M 13M 452M 3% /run
tmpfs 5.0M 4.0K 5.0M 1% /run/lock
tmpfs 464M 0 464M 0% /sys/fs/cgroup
/dev/mmcblk0p1 41M 21M 20M 52% /boot
/dev/sda2 3.7T 110M 3.7T 1% /home/share/public/plexpi4tb
tmpfs 93M 0 93M 0% /run/user/1000
/dev/sda2 is my usb drive im trying to mount.
When i look for it in my Mac finder it doesn't seem mounted cause i'm reading only 1.03 GB for that folder.
I'm not sure if it has something to do with my external drive being a exFat format?
I'm stuck. Please help.
Thanks.

I'm ok with Linux. I successfully did it with the steps in my previous post. But I'm still having some issues permanently mounting a NAS thats on my network. I seem to can't find the correct fstab line. A step by step would be great. love the image so far. thanks.

Great!
I did a tutorial on doing this very thing on a RetroPie... I will do one for PlexPi - but to save you having to wait, check it out and adapt it on the fly to what we're doing with PlexPi. PlexPi and RetroPie are the same underneath the hood so the concept and process is pretty much identical (just your mount point name and location will be different).
