I have HA running as Supervisor OS on a Dell Omniplex. I have the OS on a smaller drive. I have a 10t HDD I want frigate to write to. I need some help in having HA and Frigate to see the drive. The documentation only talks about network drives.

Because you are using supervised, I don't know. That is largely a support it yourself install like core.
If you were using HAOS, I would tell you there is no supported way.
Here's my HAOS notes, as something might apply here depending on how you set stuff up.
Hi ,
There is no supported way to connect a second drive directly. You need to consider one of the supported methods.
Mounting drives can VERY much break your system. If the drive mounted brings the backup size bigger than available, for instance, the drive will fill up and the system will crash. If you plug in a memory stick, for instance, with malware, that would cause all kinds of problems.
That is why this is not supported and if you do find a way to do it, you will be using an unsupported version of HAOS and you will be on your own when it breaks. It is absolutely not recommended behavior, however it is not impossible to do.
Plus if you really want a drive mounted, install core or another install method where you are in control of the OS.

Using the supported Samba Add-on is the supported and much safer way to transfer files. You can also use one of the SSH Terminal Add-ons to do this.
