Hello all, I’ve been reading this community from the outside for some time, and I finally decided to dip my toe into Linux a bit. I have an old PC I was using to run Plex through a Windows install, but this is now a Linux Mint Cinnamon machine.
I have Plex Media Server installed and running, however I am having a hell of a time getting it to see my external drive where my media is located.
Trying a bunch of research, it seems like it is a permissions issue that I cannot seem to shake. Plex is able to see the drive, though nothing in it. I’ve googled as much as I can, but none of the suggestions seem to help me. I’ve tried to run the command chown, though I get an operation not successful error in return.
ls -la never shows the plex user or group listed, and I’ve tried for about 2 hours trying various things and have had no success.
Additionally, the other two drives I have connected are stuck in read only as well.
Anything I may have overlooked?
