Mounting Issue??

[TGPB]

I built a new computer
1 SSD for boot
3 Hard Drives for storage ( 1 New, 2 from old computer)
Boot works fine
1 of 3 was working fine until I locked the folders, maybe from "take ownership"
Other 2 drives I can't see any files or folders in my Plex or other programs I can see them in Mint.
All 3 hard drives are EXT4 Linux Filesystem and show that they are mounted.
HELP PLEASE!!!

The ext4 file systems with the MovieDrive, MovieDrive2, and MovieDrive3 good meaningful labels reside in the /mnt directory with the UUID (less meaningful) mount points. The UUID mount points have the tgpb user as the owner with read, write, and access directory permissions.

...
1 of 3 was working fine until I locked the folders, maybe from "take ownership"
Other 2 drives I can't see any files or folders in my Plex or other programs I can see them in Mint.
...

If I understand you correctly, the Plex server cannot access the MovieDrive, MovieDrive2, and MovieDrive3 files systems in the /mnt directory using the UUID mount points, but you are able to access them with different programs? Does the Plex server except the file system to be in the /mnt directory using the UUID mount points? Does the Plex run with a different user id? Please post the output from the following command:

Other programs are not seeing the Hard Drives. Example VLC only sees the files on the SSD boot drive.
Plex sees the drive UUID but no folders.

From the information you provided the plex server uses the plex user id not the tgpb user id. Since the mount points are owned by the tgpb user with no group or other permissions, I would not expect the plex server to be able to read, write, or access the directories. As a test and since this seems to only be movies, you can open the permissions to the directories for everyone.

Code: Select all

chmod 777 /mnt/6bf16ca2-f7f1-448f-9b50-7a31c1af30d3
chmod 777 /mnt/b11bea22-9000-4410-8112-3bf3e75510e9
chmod 777 /mnt/f723ebb7-02a4-48d8-a30c-b3cbbd3dfebc

After changing the directory permissions you should stop the plex service and restart it again. If you do not know how to stop and start the plex service you can perform a normal Linux Mint shutdown and reboot.

That worked, kinda. I can see the files now in plex. One drive shows a lock on all the folders. I can access them if I right click and open as root.

It sounds like more permissions problems. If you change directory in to that drive and post the output a ls -l command it would be helpful.

Everything is working great now, I forgot to reboot. Thanks for your awesomeness on this problem, it is greatly appreciated. Have a glorious day.
