    @TheDreadPirate I copied all the files to another ExFAT drive and have now reformatted my Media drive as EXT4. It's currently empty. I've added the following line to /etc/fstab, based on the drive's new UUID:

    Code:
    UUID=d38f8fcf-1a16-4988-8000-bca2b02efb55 /media/Media ext4 defaults 0 0

    So far it doesn't allow me to write to the drive; I can't copy a file to it. I haven't gone into Jellyfin yet because I want to make sure it's all working properly first.

    In Nautilus, oddly, it shows up simply as "2.0TB Volume" (no name given) but upon hovering, it correctly shows the mount point as /media/Media. In Properties, it shows the following permissions:

    Owner: root (can create and delete files)
    Group: root (access files)
    Others: (access files)

    What's the correct permissions setup for Jellyfin and my user to be able to write to the drive, and can you tell me the specific command or fstab line that will do this?

    Also, is it a problem that Nautilus isn't displaying the name of the drive in the drive list (just "2.0TB Volume")?

    Thank you again for helping me trudge through this.
