   • This comment on the previous gist

2. Install the HDDs in the bay and set up RAID1 mode for redundancy.

3. Format the resulting logical drive with an ext4 partition:

   lsblk
   sudo fdisk /dev/sdb
   # create an ext4 partition using the default values
   sudo mkfs.ext4 /sdb1

4. Automatically mount the drive by adding it to fstab:

   # Static information about the filesystems.
   # See fstab(5) for details.
   
   # <file system> <dir> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
   UUID=036B-B429 /boot vfat defaults 0 0
   UUID=e5202fed-ade4-4b63-a13a-911aba4af8d6 /mnt/hdd ext4 defaults,nofail,x-systemd.device-timeout=5 0 2

5. Change the ownership of the mounted drive:

   chown $USER:$USER /mnt/hdd

6. Create the folder structure specified in the TRaSH guide:

   sudo mkdir -p /mnt/hdd/data/{media,torrents}/{anime,movies,tv}
