    Your options are to manually mount the hard drive so that the ACL is not applied or to remove the ACL.

    I wrote a guide in the walkthrough sub-forum for this process and a basic Linux permissions primer.

    https://forum.jellyfin.org/t-mounting-lo...ons-primer

    This is a great writeup and I appreciate it. I mounted my drive to a folder in media (/media/easy in my case) and unmounting and remounting via the fstab file does work. However, still no luck on Jellyfin. I'm trying to change the owner of the external drive to the jellyfin group since the jellyfin user is a member of that group. I use the following commands while in /media/easy:

    sudo chown -R root:jellyfin /media/easy
    sudo chown -R :jellyfin /media/easy

    I also tried both of these while in /media. But when I run an ls -l command, it still shows root and the owner user and group. What am I doing wrong here?
