Be very, very careful if you are not familiar with it - if you do something wrong you could easily format the wrong drive, wiping all the data. So make sure you only connect this one drive and not others.
First run "mount" to find the device node - it'll typically be /dev/sda1 or /dev/sdb1.
Then unmount the partition with "umount /dev/sda1" - use the device node you found out above in this and the following commands.
To make sure this worked, run "mount" again, the partition should no longer be listed.
If the partition was already formatted as ext4 you can simply run tune2fs to change the reserved block count - eg "tune2fs -m 0 /dev/sda1".
If you want to format it as ext4 run "mkfs.ext4 -m 0 -L MyVolumeLabel /dev/sda1" - Change MyVolumeLabel to the label you'd like to give the partition, it'll then show up with this name in the partition list in kodi.
Now reboot LE and the freshly formatted drive should show up in kodi.
BTW: if you run tune2fs with the "-l" (lower case "L") option it'll show details, including the label and reserved block count of the given partition. eg "tune2fs -l /dev/sda1". This won't alter the partition and it's safe to run it even if the partition is mounted.
so long,
