Just installed Ubuntu and now no drives are seen by Plex

Plex Media Server Metadata & Adding Files

Server Version#: 4.54.5
Player Version#:

I am a long time Fedora user who’s switching to Ubuntu as of today. My Plex server was working fine in Fedora with all four hard drives recognized. In Ubuntu Plex does not see the directories I’ve mounted the hard drives to. I tried following the instructions in the following link:

However, I am still unsuccessful in getting the drives recognized at all. The only thing that is seen are folders in the boot drive.

Things I’ve tried:
Changing the permissions on the drive mount point to 777 (I know, friends don’t let friends chmod 777 but I was getting frustrated at this point)
All of the instructions on the above link including "find /kids_drive -type f -exec chmod 644 {} ; find /kids_drive -type d -exec chmod 755 {} ;
Editing the mount options under “disks”
Verifying the disks are read correctly in fstab including rebooting and verifying I can still access the disks through the OS.
I’ve spent about 2 hours on Google trying to find other solutions including the Plex forum and the Ubuntu forum.

Obviously my Google-Fu has failed me today so I’m asking for help.
A beer to anyone who helps me figure it out?

Assuming you haven’t already figured this out, can you answer some questions?

  • What filesystem(s) do your drives use?
  • What is the output of ls -al /drive/mount/path/ (with the drive mounted)?
  • What is the output of sudo -u plex ls -al /drive/mount/path/?
  • What is the relevant line in your fstab?
