    SOLVED: Media Saving Locally and NOT to Mounted OMV Folder

    Using fstab to mount an OMV SMB drive and Jellyfin doesn't seem to be able to write to it. Suggestions?

    Good morning,

    I'm having issues with my set up. I was previously using Jellyfin directly as a Container in OMV and everything was saving nicely to the specific folders where the media was located. However, I had some issues and ultimately decided to keep Jellyfin and OMV separate.

    I set up an Ubuntu server with Jellyfin and got everything installed, then I mounted the OMV SMB folder via fstab using the following:

    //000.000.0.00/media /media/share cifs user=USER,pass=PASS,rw,uid=1000,gid=100

    And everything was read perfectly. My libraries populated and we were off to the races! Then I noticed that it wasn't saving newly downloaded images or subtitles (or anything) in the media folders the way it had previously.

    I've tried adding a user in OMV with the same name and PW as my Jellyfin admin, and I gave them them RW permissions over the SMB folder.

    Any suggestions?

    The drive I used in the Jellyfin server isn't very large...it's not tiny or anything, but I'd rather not fill it with tons of images and such when there's a perfectly good media sever just a LAN cable away.

    Thank you!

    Add "noperm" to the mount options.
