How to find other drives on Linux? - 4r5hw45twh - 2024-08-11

So, I transitioned from Windows to Linux. I am going through the server setup again. When I am trying to add my one drive for movies-only, I don't see the drive name anywhere. When researching, a site said to use:

Code:
sudo setfacl -m user:jellyfin:rxw /media/YourMountedDrive/

So, how do I do this? Do I change "YourMountedDrive" to the name of my drive? or the location of it (which says "/dev/sda1")? Confused. I also have another drive I'll need to give access to for shows/anime.

Is Jellyfin running in docker?
What Linux distro?
What filesystem is the drive using? If NTFS, i would recommend you, to move data away and format the drive into ext4

You can use "sudo fdisk -l" to see drives informations like /dev/sdb etc.
You need to create a folder for the mount like:
"sudo mkdir /mnt/ext1"
then to mount a drive to that path:
"sudo mount /dev/sdb /mnt/ext1/"

For permissions of the drive, you can use:
"sudo chmod -R 777 username:group /mnt/ext1/"
-R will change permission on all files and folders on the drive.
777 = all permissions
username is the name of the user and group should be the same.
/mnt/ext1/ is the path

No, no docker. Just on my Linux install. POP!_OS, based on Ubuntu.
Not sure how to find the filesystem. Pretty new to Linux in general, so a lot of this is gibberish to me.

Using that fdisk command, I see the 2 drives I want are:
/dev/sda2 (type: Microsoft basic data)
/dev/sdb1 (type: HPFS/NTFS/exFAT)

There's no simple way to just see my other drives on my File Explorer like in Windows on the left-hand side?

In Linux, if I open my Files app, then go to "Other Locations" I do see my drives there. But they aren't showing as options on the JellyFin setup. On Windows, JellyFin just let me easily browse to the hard drive directories.

EDIT: It appears on JellyFin, I had to select the "/media" directory and then my other hard drives showed up there. Which is nothing you said at all, so not sure what you were talking about.

Code:
sudo fdisk -l

That command will list out all the drives attached and any partitions and filesystems on them.

Once you figure out what is where, you will need to mount them by providing mount parameters in /etc/fstab.
