=Complete walkthrough=
A secondary hard drive (fat32, ntfs, etc) can be added for additional storage in your Amahi HDA. First thing's first, make sure your drive is connected properly and detected by the bios.
If you get something similar like "Disk /dev/dm-0 doesn't contain a valid partition table" or "mount: unknown file system type 'lvm2pv'" its because you have LVM's that 'fdisk' can not recognize, (or something like that) its nothing to worry about if you get that when executed the Diskmounter.sh script.
