How to add new hard drive ubuntu

[Doom69]

I ran all the code from this thread
https://forum.jellyfin.org/t-how-to-add-...ing-ubuntu

but it didn't work.

I want Jellyfin to access my /media/<username>/Blue

Note that I have to manually mount that drive every time this server turns on (maybe that's interfering or something). Tho I did all of those commands while the drive was mounted restarted the Jellyfin server and still I didn't see it when trying to add it to the library.

It's my first week at this and it took quite some time to set up, at least I got the first media folder working (/media/jellyfin)

I did the commands (from your guide)

I saw you say "Their media drives were auto-mounted and Jellyfin can't access them." while mine were the opposite do I have to mount them or just leave them unmounted (tried both ways, still didn't seem to work)


I got an error at the UUID=..... stage tho I believe I added the correct one (got the UUID from the Disks app).

When I used this /media/doom/Blue2 (Blue2 is the HHD)
I got
bash: /media/doom/Blue2: No such file or directory

When I used  /dev/sdc
bash: /dev/sdc: Permission denied

Can you show me the output of "sudo fdisk -lx"? And what you put in /etc/fstab?

You have to use the UUID for the partition, not the drive itself. Same with /dev/sdc. It is probably /dev/sdc1. /media/doom/Blue2 is a directory that your drive is mounted to and isn't a device.

I believe it's this one (blocked out some info with x)

The disk model is not sensitive information. No need to sensor it. Also just realized that -x and -l don't have to be used together.

So show the full output of "sudo fdisk -x /dev/sdc" and also what you put into /etc/fstab.

fdisk does not give you the correct uuid, you need to use blkid command. Run the below command and use that uuid, it will be different than what you get using fdisk.

Code:

sudo blkid /dev/sdc

[TheDreadPirate]

It does provide the same UUID.

Code:

chris@rat-trap:~$ sudo fdisk -x /dev/sdd ; echo "***************" ; sudo blkid /dev/sdd1

The UUID for the partition is the same value, "63C1787F-E1A3-B34A-AE05-EB66F240E17D".

On ubuntu you'll get differnt results. Only the one from blkid works in fstab:

Code:

max@HOME:~$ sudo blkid /dev/nvme0n1p4
/dev/nvme0n1p4: UUID="a8b87372-d084-4c2c-89ff-8670d4534330" BLOCK_SIZE="4096" TYPE="ext4" PARTLABEL="Linux" PARTUUID="23bad7c6-2c12-4d09-af99-0ebb9ffa36ee"

max@HOME:~$ sudo fdisk -x

The "PARTUUID" for blkid is the same as the UUID for fdisk -x. Just lower case for blkid.
