Using an external HDD
=====================

If you're using an external hard drive and it's auto-mounted, you may need
to explicitly create a custom mount point for it instead to allow you to set
the necessary permissions so that your media can be served to the client.

    $ sudo vim /etc/fstab

An example fstab entry is as follows:

    LABEL="ExternalHDD"   /mnt/ExternalHDD   ntfs-3g     defaults,auto,uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=022   0   0

After adding something like this and restarting, your HDD should appear at 
the specified path with group & world readable permissions.
