fwiw to overcome what you are referring to i have no trouble
- mounting storage to my server where docker is running
- then adding that mount point as a volume in the jellyfin docker (bind mount, not volume)
the result is jellyfin serves files from my external server without even knowing they are external and neither do the clients
the downside is turning off live library scanning and only doing scans manually when there is new content
- otherwise jellyfin will remove items in the case the external server or mount to internal server is not connected
and just to make things interesting i also sometimes use sshfs to mount from the external server to the internal one, jellyfin still doesnt care
