@TheDreadPirate thanks so much for that very thorough primer! I've edited my /etc/fstab file using Gnome Text Editor, and re-saved. Here's a play-by-play from that point:
$ sudo umount /media/(username)/Media
$ sudo mount -a
mount: /media/(username): can't find UUID=(xxx).
mount: (hint) your fstab has been modified, but systemd still uses
the old version; use 'systemctl daemon-reload' to reload.
$ systemctl daemon-reload
$ sudo mount -a
mount: /media/(username): can't find UUID=(xxx).
I've checked and the UUID is correct, copied and pasted. This happened once, and I assumed the failure was due to something I'd broken earlier in the process. My Ubuntu install was brand-new otherwise, so I just reinstalled the OS, then Jellyfin. Tnis is my second try, and I'm getting the same result.
My install method is using Jellyfin's repo, as they recommend:
curl -s https://repo.jellyfin.org/install-debuntu.sh | sudo bash
Could it matter that the external drive was originally formatted as exFAT using a Mac, or is there something else I can try?
