Here explains how to mount drives onto a local folder on a linux

On Command Line

osudo mount. /dev/sd? /path/to/mount/point

This needs osudo

Permanent on boot-up

• Within the file /etc/fstab – place the following line at the end of the file:

/dev/sd? /path/to/mount/point ext4 rw,relatime 0 2

• A better way to do this is to find the UUID of the disk first,
  then reference with the UUID, as follows:

UUID=flajdslfj732147892 /path/to/mount/point ext4 rw,relatime 0 2

• Note: this examples assumes file type of ext4
  • this will need to be altered if a different filesystem is used.

File Type

• The type denotes the current filessystem type
