Unable to To Move a MySQL Data Directory to a New Location on Ubuntu 18.04

I’m trying to setup a personal clound server on my home desktop with Ubuntu 18.04. I have an external 10TB hdd attached and would like to move the data that mysql stores on to the drive because I plan to use it as a storage/backup for multiple machines in the house. I followed this tutorial and when I try to restart mysql I get an error and after using

journalctl -xe

I get this output

There’s more in the error, but this is the important part. If anyone needs to see the rest let me know and I’ll paste it in, but I don’t want to waste space in this question.
