What file system format is your external SSD using? NTFS or EXT4? What are the mount parameters?
Code:
cat /proc/mountsRE: Metadata & Cache Directory - DAFFY - 2024-04-22
Hi, and thanks for the reply. My drive is formatted in EXT4. After playing around i just went with installing jellyfin on the drive its self and not using an sd card atall and not just using it for cache and metadata on the PI4, is that the best way of running jellyfin on the pi or should i be running off the SD card and using external drives for certain data?. Thanks..!!

If you can avoid running it from the SD card entirely, that is preferable. As long as the USB drive is an SSD (which you said it was).
