Hi! I briefly had Jellyfin up and running in a sort of test environment, using an SMB share on my network. It worked just fine. Now I am trying to set up the permanent environment, using an NTFS media drive directly connected to a Jellyfin server on a Linux host. (And yes, I would prefer to be using ext4, but I am stuck* with NTFS.)
So when I go to add the library, I drill right down to the mount point, but Jellyfin can't see the mount point. I've been at this for hours and have read many related posts here and elsewhere, but nothing works. As of now, with everything I've read, the most theoretically foolproof version of the mount command I have is this:
...which results in this:
ls -l
total 8
drwxrwxrwx 1 jellyfin jellyfin 4096 Dec 8 10:42 egg.shen
So owner and group are both Jellyfin, permissions are wide open, and every mask option is set just because. What else could it possibly want? But it just can't see it.
What must I do? I'm dyin here.

*For those curious, Egg Shen is a LaCie d2 Professional drive, and when I format it as ext4 the giant blue light on the front flashes non-stop, as if it were always accessing. The drive works, but the light freaks me out. So I guess alternatively, if someone can tell me how to fix that, it'd be an even better solution.
But I can't find one, so here we are.
