Jellyfin on proxmox

[wbravin]

@GrumpyNick

I tried it

and i got this 
root@pve:~# nano /etc/fstab
root@pve:~# systemctl daemon-reload
root@pve:~# mount /mnt/truenas
mount: /etc/fstab: parse error at line 1 -- ignored


does this mean that the share was mounted? i

f so great how do i verify it? and i can now just proceed with the binding


Thank you so much

Hello all

first let me thank you @TheDreadPirate @GrumpyNick and @madsepperl  for all your help, patience and teachings

Following the latest recommendations i had successfully managed to load /mnt/truenas/Movies  all my movies were there brilliant.

So i continued with Music and Shows by adding the same line (amended for each dataset) to the /etc/fstab file

I then mounted each dataset using mount/mnt/truenas/Movies

I screwed up and i got all the files for movies in /mnt/truenas/Movies all the files for Music in /mnt/truenas/Movies/Music and all the shows in /mnt/truenas/Movies/Shows it was a mess.

I proceeded to delete all the contents of /mnt/truenas/Movies
root@pve:~# mount /mnt/truenas/Movies
mount: /etc/fstab: parse error at line 1 -- ignored
mount error(16): Device or resource busy
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs) and kernel log messages (dmesg)

the same for Music when i did /mnt/truenas/Music
and for shows I got
root@pve:~# mount /mnt/truenas/Shows
mount: /etc/fstab: parse error at line 1 -- ignored
Couldn't chdir to /mnt/truenas/Shows: No such device

i found the following information
root@pve:/mnt/truenas# ls -la
total 8
drwxr-xr-x 5 root  root  4096 Oct 16 08:14 .
drwxr-xr-x 6 root  root  4096 Oct 15 13:21 ..
drwxrwx--- 2 100000 110000    0 Oct 16 08:23 Movies
drwxrwx--- 2 100000 110000    0 Oct 15 23:49 Music
drwxr-xr-x 2 root  root      0 Oct 16 08:14 Shows
root@pve:/mnt/truenas#
Notice the shows having a uid of root instead of 10000 and i guess the 0 means that the directory is empty.

What is keeping the directories busy? and how do i change Shows to 10000?
then i will need to bind the mount to the lxc with
{ echo 'mp0: /mnt/truenas/Movies/,mp=/mnt/Truenas' ; } | tee -a /etc/pve/lxc/104.conf
{ echo 'mp0: /mnt/truenas/Music/,mp=/mnt/truenas' ; } | tee -a /etc/pve/lxc/LXC_ID.conf
{ echo 'mp0: /mnt/truenas/Shows/,mp=/mnt/truenas' ; } | tee -a /etc/pve/lxc/LXC_ID.conf

I will have to do this for all 3 datasets correct?
then start the lxc and install and configure Jellyfin

I looked at the possible issues and i saw this 
root@pve:~# cd /mnt/truenas
root@pve:/mnt/truenas# ls -la
total 8
drwxr-xr-x 5 root  root  4096 Oct 16 08:14 .
drwxr-xr-x 6 root  root  4096 Oct 15 13:21 ..
drwxrwx--- 2 100000 110000    0 Oct 16 08:23 Movies
drwxrwx--- 2 100000 110000    0 Oct 15 23:49 Music
drwxr-xr-x 2 root  root      0 Oct 16 08:14 Shows


Once again Thank you

[GrumpyNick]

What does your fstab file look like, can you share it?

Also these are incorrect, well two of them are:
{ echo 'mp0: /mnt/truenas/Movies/,mp=/mnt/Truenas' ; } | tee -a /etc/pve/lxc/104.conf
{ echo 'mp0: /mnt/truenas/Music/,mp=/mnt/truenas' ; } | tee -a /etc/pve/lxc/LXC_ID.conf
{ echo 'mp0: /mnt/truenas/Shows/,mp=/mnt/truenas' ; } | tee -a /etc/pve/lxc/LXC_ID.conf

You need to increment the device each time like so:
{ echo 'mp0: /mnt/truenas/Movies/,mp=/mnt/Truenas' ; } | tee -a /etc/pve/lxc/104.conf
{ echo 'mp1: /mnt/truenas/Music/,mp=/mnt/truenas' ; } | tee -a /etc/pve/lxc/LXC_ID.conf
{ echo 'mp2: /mnt/truenas/Shows/,mp=/mnt/truenas' ; } | tee -a /etc/pve/lxc/LXC_ID.conf

Usually if the user and/or group is incorrect with an SMB/CIFS location it's down to what's in fstab.

THis fstab was not changed since last night and before proceeding the mount i did do a systemctl daemon-reload

Thank you for your prompt reply

[GrumpyNick]

Sorry long day...

Nothing is jumping out at me, I'd delete that "Shows" directory within mnt/truenas and then recreate it.

"mkdir -p Shows"

Then try and mount the share again.

HI @GrumpyNick

no worries


i tried rmdir /mnt/truenas/Shows
root@pve:~# cd /mnt/truenas/
root@pve:/mnt/truenas# ls -la

This is the issues will all the directories they show as busy

Coudl I be taking on more than i can chew?

[GrumpyNick]

Do you have them mapped into a running LXC at all?

[madsepperl]

you probably get the "device busy" error messages, because the directories are mounted. You can't mount them again or delete them, when they're mounted.

to check if the local directory already is mounted:

Code:

mount | grep /mnt/truenas/Shows

If this returns nothing, then the directory is not mounted. But if this shows something like:

Code:

//192.168.1.124/Shows/ on /mnt/truenas/Shows type cifs (rw,...........

then it's already mounted. If you want to delete that directory, you first have to unmount it:

Code:

umount /mnt/truenas/Shows

After that the rmdir should work.

Some more troubleshooting:

If this is your first line in fstab "<file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>" then this will generate the error message "mount: /etc/fstab: parse error at line 1 -- ignored" you get. Delete this first line in fstab.

the commands to add to the LXC config have some errors:
{ echo 'mp0: /mnt/truenas/Movies/,mp=/mnt/Truenas' ; } | tee -a /etc/pve/lxc/104.conf
{ echo 'mp1: /mnt/truenas/Music/,mp=/mnt/truenas' ; } | tee -a /etc/pve/lxc/LXC_ID.conf
{ echo 'mp2: /mnt/truenas/Shows/,mp=/mnt/truenas' ; } | tee -a /etc/pve/lxc/LXC_ID.conf

you can't use the same mp= for all three mountpoints
first mp=/mnt/Truenas should be /mnt/truenas (lower case t in truenas)
2nd and third tee targets should be /etc/pve/lxc/104.conf and not /etc/pve/lxc/LXC_ID.conf

Hello @GrumpyNick

i truly apologize for being so thick

I made a dogs breakfast of this whole situation.

I'm trying to delete all the directories i created /mnt/media and /mnt/truenas. when t5itry to delete the directories and their contents and all the groups, 

i get that the directory is busy or there is something in the directory for which i do not have permission.

I do not understand Muddy Magnolias is a music directory that has a folder called broken people In truenas all my datasets have the same posix acl with uid=root gid=root
with the addition of myself and Jellyfin as users belonging to the same groups (wheel root)

I deleted the lxc and created it using the proxmox ve scripts for jellyfin. 

I also may inadvertently messed up group 10000 which was supposed to be media how do i see what group exists and how to modify them


Thank you for your patience

once this is all done

[madsepperl]

root@pve:~# sudo rm -r /mnt/media/truenas/Movies
root@pve:~# mount /mnt/truenas/Movies

seems there's a mismatch, which one is the correct one?
