I am a fairly new Linux user. I understand a fair amount and have used it in the past, but I am by no means proficient.
Plan:
I am running Proxmox on a N97 G5 NucBox. Currently only using it as a Plex server with data on a separate file server. The file server initially was a Synology DS416j NAS, and worked using IP addresses to mount, however due to having issues with permissions, I opted to simply mount USB drives directly to NUC.
mergerfs was being used to consolidate each of the 4 drives into 1 volume for Plex. I plan to do that again with the Terramaster.
I purchased a D5-300C, formatted the drives as NTFS via Windows and moved some files to them to make sure everything was working. One of my drives was already NTFS and had data on it. I know that EXT4 is a better option and I may ultimately do that. I would like to keep the drives separate in the Terramaster and continue to use mergerfs to consolidate the files for Plex, that way I won't lose all data if something goes wrong. The Terramaster is a 5 bay USB enclosure connected by USB-C to the NUC.
In Proxmox:
Proxmox Disks:
List them all: all say No under mounted.
They are not lists in Datacenter
I can individually mount. to their respective sdb1, sdc1, etc. and it says they are mounted in Proxmox Disks.
I can also ls and see the filenames on the one drive that has data.
An:
mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/Asimov1
Lists the Asimov1 partition as yes for mounting
can ls and see files list.
None of the drives auto mount. They do not maintain mounting on reboot.
The mount directories have already been created. All of the UUIDs in fstab were pulled from blkid
and refer to the volume and not the drive. They are correct.

I appreciate any assistance, starting points, etc. If I need to EXT4 the drives I will figure out somewhere to move the data temporarily.
