Hi everyone,
I am new to HA. Recently istalled it on a Raspberry Pi 4. It is booting from an SD card. I also attached an external HDD. I can see it in hardware /dev/sda. When I try to run: mount /dev/sda /mnt/HDD - I get a permission denied error.
Is there a way to use that HDD as an external storage ? I was thinking of using it as my main SMB storage as I have already media content on it.
Thanks in advance!

Update: Found the way to do it.

Use this link to create the key and paste it on a USB drive: https://developers.home-assistant.io/docs/operating-system/debugging/#checking-the-logs
ha os import from HA terminal
then you can ssh HA from your pc and run: mount /dev/sda /mnt/data/supervisor/media
