You may wish to backup /etc/fstab first (in case something goes wrong your you want to undo this easily). Then, you'll want to edit your /etc/fstab - this is what tells Ubuntu what to drives to mount (and where) when it starts up. Now, let's install CIFS Utilities: sudo apt-get install cifs-utils You'll need to enter your password, because usually only the operating system edits things in /media) (This assumes you don't already have that directory. Once you decide, open a terminal and type: sudo mkdir /media/Plex I would suggest something like /media/Plex.

You'll need to decide where you want the mounted files from MyBook to appear in your filesystem.

I'm not really that familiar with NFS, but this is how you can do it with CIFS (the successor to Samba - should be compatible with your MyBook if MyBook supports Samba).

I don't believe Plex has any way to access drives from a network location, but like this thread on Plex for Mac suggests - if you are able to mount them within the local filesystem, then you should be able to do it with no problem. If someone could help me I would be grateful. I have read various things and tried several different things, but no luck. IP address of the mybook is 192.168.0.13. There isn't a username or password needed to get into the shared folder 'Plex'. I know this will be fixed when the shared folder 'Plex' is mounted/mapped correctly. Also I just don't understand how to add it into plex. I don't know how to mount/map this properly to keep this mounted every time there is a reboot needed. I created a folder called Plex which then has sub-directories: So I understand with this there are shared folders on this drive. Everything was working on Ubuntu 13.04 running PMS and a external USB HDD hooked up to it until I got a NAS WD MyBookLive 3TB drive. I like Ubuntu and want to use it instead of windows. So I've been looking around and can't find an exact solution to my problem.
