Now, what exact line should I add to '/etc/fstab'?
This is what I have now:
I've already created a new directory for the mounting point: /media/joaquim/Multimedia2
My logical name for the new drive is '/dev/sda'

The article BryanC linked has the information you need. The first and second subheadings explain the fstab file format and how to uniquely identify discs using the blkid command to find UUIDs for partitions. Relying on the sda or sdb logical names is a bad practice because the enumeration can change, i.e. you can see that what is sdb now used to be sda before you connected the third disc! But your existing fstab entry uses a UUID so it was no big deal. Try following the instructions in the BryanC's link and see if you can get it working.
If you can't get it working or it doesn't work as expected, post what you've tried and we'll help!
EDIT: Oh we cross-posted. I'd start with the default options and see if everything works as expected. The wiki link above also explains some common options too!
cochinada:
Yes! I think I'm on the right path thanks to you guys. :)
This is what I did and how it is looking. As my next step I will now try to copy some files between both discs and then setup MC30...

1st issue:
I cannot create files in the new mounting point.

It looks like you might've created the new mount point as root or with sudo? Try changing the ownership and/or permissions on the mount point using the chown or chmod so that your user can access the mount point.

You're right. I think I used sudo.
I've now changed group and owner to Joaquim and permissions to 777.
Doing some tests now...
