Hi ,
sorry for late response! Overwhelmed by daily work…
Well, the SATA doesn’t work just because I didn’t implement it hehehe… But it will be a matter of minutes, don’t worry. So, first connect the SATA drive, then fire it up. Look at this tutorial, is good for understanding the wiring and check you made everything allright:

Then, connect via SSH (user root and pw volumio)
First, we create the folder where your hard drive will be mounted:
mkdir /mnt/HARDDRIVE
(or whatever you want to call it)
Now, we grant full permission to that folder
chmod -R 777 /mnt/HARDDRIVE
Now, we create a symlink into MPD music folder to our newly created one, so MPD will index this as well
first we check that the symlink is not yet enabled (link to /mnt/)
cd /var/lib/mpd/music
ln -s
if you don’t see the folder HARDRIVE we actually create a symlink
ln -s /mnt/HARDDRIVE
Now, let’s see how your Hard drive is called:
fdisk -l
You should see a list, and be able to recognize your 2TB drive. Assuming is called /dev/sda1, we mount it:
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/HARDDRIVE
Now, let’s see if it is properly mounted, and if we can see the files in it
cd /mnt/HARDDRIVE
ln -s
If you can see the files, the last thing is enabling this to be mounted at boot . We add a line to fstab
nano /etc/fstab
Add this at the end (change the name with the name of your drive.
/dev/sda1 /mnt/HARDDISK vfat defaults 0 0
if it is FAT32
/dev/sda1 /mnt/HARDDISK ntfs-3g defaults 0 0
if it is NTFS
Done! Now update your database and enjoy!!!
If something goes wrong just let me know!
