RE: Can't ge to Movies on second drive - notepro - 2024-03-17

Ok, I used that line with my UUID in /etc/fstab and rebooted. When I lised my mounts in terminal, this showed up:

/media/library /dev/sdc1 fuseblk rw,relatime,us

Does this look right? However, I still cannot get to my movies folder. ITs just like before. When I go into Folder under Library, I can choose the / and then media and then library. But thats it, nothing else shows up.

Can you show me exactly what you put in fstab? That does not look right. The paths are reversed and the type should be ntfs.


RE: Can't ge to Movies on second drive - notepro - 2024-03-17

Not sure how to put this in Code: like you do but this is copied and pasted from my /etc/fstab:

UUID=DEA2B568A2B54635  /media/library    ntfs-3g  defaults,nls=utf8,umask=000,dmask=027,fmask=137,uid=1000,gid=1000,windows_names 0 0


RE: Can't ge to Movies on second drive - notepro - 2024-03-17

Could it be a permissions issue? When I do this: ls -l /media/library

drwxr-x---

This is what the persmissions say for that mount. Is this right?

Also when I do this: groups jellyfin

jellyfin : jellyfin video render

This is the result. Is jellyfin even in the group to access that mount?


RE: Can't ge to Movies on second drive - TheDreadPirate - 2024-03-17

Depends on what the current group ownership is. If it is root:root jellyfin doesn't have access to it. Needs to be 755 so that jellyfin can get into the folder.


RE: Can't ge to Movies on second drive - notepro - 2024-03-17

Can you explain how to check it and see if jellyfin has access to it? And how to fix it if so?


RE: Can't ge to Movies on second drive - TheDreadPirate - 2024-03-17

The command you used in the last post should show the user and group owner

ls -l

You didn't include them in the last post.


RE: Can't ge to Movies on second drive - notepro - 2024-03-17

My fault on that one. This is the result of: ls -l /media/library:

drwxr-x--- 1 john john 4096 Dec 24 2016 Media


Media is the name of the drive that contains the movie files.

EDIT: Changed ls -l /mnt/library to correct an error to alleiviate any confusion on responses below.


RE: Can't ge to Movies on second drive - TheDreadPirate - 2024-03-17

chmod 755 /mnt/library


RE: Can't ge to Movies on second drive - notepro - 2024-03-17

Apologies for the above mistake, my mount is /media/library. I corrected it and left a note.

I tried the chmod 755 /media/library and it still didn't work. Still can't get to movies folder on Media hard drive.

Based on this:

Result of: ls -l /media/library:

drwxr-x--- 1 john john 4096 Dec 24 2016 Media

Are those permission correct on /media/library? BTW, I have added jellyfin to the group john but still doesn't allow me to see it in jellyfin. All I can still get to is /, then media, then library and then nothing after it when trying to add the path in Libraries.
