It looks like I got this working now but something happened in the process that has me confused. To go back to my original problem, it seemed like I needed to have a mount point for this space. So I made a partition named /dev/sdb and created a mount point for it. I then updated the /etc/fstab file to have the following line:
/dev/sdb1 /LinuxNonAppMount ext4 defaults 0 2
Note that before I started this process I already had another disk that was listed as /dev/sdc. it has files such as documents, spreadsheets, etc... created in Windows.
I re-booted and almost everything was fine, except the permissions, group and ownership settings of the new space. I changed them so that I could actually modify the space. I did another re-boot and was put into emergency mode. After a lot of digging I realized that /dev/sdc and /dev/sdb were switched when i viewed the output from lsblk and fdisk. Based on that I changed the entry in /etc/fstab to be
/dev/sdc1 /LinuxNonAppMount ext4 defaults 0 2
And now I can get back into Linux. What on earth would have caused /dev/sdb and /dev/adc to be switched like that?
/dev/sdb1 /LinuxNonAppMount ext4 defaults 0 2
