Hi,
I've previously installed Jellyfin server on Mac, and it had no trouble recognizing and reading from my external media drive. I've now started a new Jellyfin installation on Ubuntu 24.04LTS, and have attached the same external drive to the new machine via USB. When attempting to add a library in the Jellyfin web setup wizard, I navigate to /media/my_username, and the external drive is not there.
In the OS, I can see it's mounted as /media/my_username/Media, formatted as ExFAT. I can see all the files in Ubuntu's file browser, and double-clicking any media file plays it successfully in VLC. The drive seems to work fine in every other application in this Ubuntu install, and works fine with my Jellyfin server install on Mac.
How can I make Jellyfin server see this drive on Ubuntu 24.04?
Thank you in advance for any light you can shed!
