Nope.

The email wrapped the message, but the >> /etc/fstab was on the same
line as the echo command.  It needs a sudo in front.

You can just run the echo command with the >> /etc/fstab at the end of
the line and pick up from there.

You did create the logical volume and format it.

I'm sure Ubuntu has a fancier way to do it, but you could just do:
sudo mkdir /mnt/usbdrive
sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/usbdrive
(I guessed at the device node but that is probably where it will show up.)

Now the data will show up on /mnt/usbdrive.  Before removing the usb drive run:
sudo umount /mnt/usbdrive

This mount won't be persistent - it will go away after a reboot.  To
make a mount persistent you need to stick it in /etc/fstab, which is
what that echo command does.

Echo just takes whatever is in quotes and prints it out.  The ">>
/etc/fstab" after the echo command redirects the output of echo and
appends it as a new line to the fstab file.
