metadata and video has to fetch after power outage - firebolt126 - 2023-07-23
So whenever my media server PC reboot, it create a problem for my Jellyfin server.
My media server is running on ESXi free with a USB WD Element. The USB drive is then passed onto my Ubuntu server VM. This USB drive is mounted to the /media/Jellyfin folder on the Ubuntu server. fstab doesn't work so I have to unmount and remount everytime the PC reboot.
Jellyfin is running as a docker container on this Ubuntu server. media, config, and cache volumes are all bind mounted back to the host in /media/Jellyfin.
When the PC reboot, this folder is inaccessible until I remount in Ubuntu. Once it's mounted again, I can then see that the share is available from my Windows PC. The Jellyfin client doesn't see that though. I have to wait or manually run a scan for it to pick it up. Otherwise browsing to the video folder will show empty.
What could be the cause? Is it the external USB or the container volume setup?
