I have just started getting into Linux so I am somewhat of a novice so please take this into account. I have installed LibreELEC onto a Raspberry Pi3 B+ micro SD card, I downloaded the image directly from the LibeELEC downloads, I downloaded an older version because I can not get the Aeon Nox skin on Liea, so i am using Kodi 17.6 (Linux Kernel 4.11.x).
The problem I have is the self powered external Buffalo 6TB hard drive randomly mounts and can take a few reboots before it finally mounts and allows me to access my media.
I believe it is formatted NTFS because I need to use it on a windows 7 PC to update my media from time to time. I have read the best format for Linux is ext4 but is not compatible with windows unless using 3rd party software so I would really like to stick with NTFS. Is there a way to permanently mount this drive so it is always recognized in Kodi (or Raspberry pi3)? I dont see any terminal access from Kodi to code in any commands but like I said Im a novice. Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
