You probably saw it scanned during boot, but I doubt it's mounted
unless you have it in the /etc/fstab file OR (if it's a USB drive) you 
plug it in after you're logged in as a GUI user.

If you want, you'd have to put the device in /etc/fstab so it's mounted
at boot time (with the appropriate options) and put it in your smb.conf
file to share it.
