format and make a file system on the new drive

sudo cfdisk /dev/sdb
sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdb1

check in /dev/disk/by-uuid for the UUID values of your partitions or sudo blkid

edit /etc/fstab

UUID=numberfromabove	/mnt	ext4	rw,relatime 0 3

/mnt = mount location, folder MUST be empty

ext4 = filesystem of partition

rw = read write

relatime = settings atime,noatime,relatime determine how often access time is updated relatime is a happy medium in which the time is only updated if it is newer or much older than the current latest access time noatime is somewhat useful for filesystems that don't support access time or flash drives and so forth atime is not really used as it causes uneeded writes or something

0 = disable outdated dumping backup method

3 = check this disk 3rd when booting up. 0 disables the check which is good for ntfs and other garbage file systems. You should do the check for ext4 since it's fast.
