Manjaro - Cannot add Libraries on Mounted Drive

Plex Media Server
1

Server Version#: Version 1.27.2.5929
Player Version#: Version 4.86.1

Good afternoon,

Linux Manjaro.
I’m having trouble adding libraries of movies. On a mounted drive.
/run/media/garphylet/Closet/Plex_Storage/Romance/
Closet is a Mounted drive
Plex_Storage is the folder
Romance is a folder of Movies.
It will not scan or recognize them. I ran this in Windows forever, and had it up in Pop!_OS and worked, so there’s a trick here I missed.
We tried:
ln -s /run/media/garphylet/Closet/Plex_Storage/ ~/Plex_Storage/
sudo chown plex:plex ~/Plex_Storage -R

If the disk is automatically mounted by the operating system it more than likely has ACLs associated with it; no amount of chown’ing will allow users/groups who aren’t specifically granted permission to do so to access it.

You can check to see if this is the case by running ls -al /run/media/ or ls -al /run/media/garphylet/. Look for a “+” at the end of the permissions; if present, it means that ACLs are in use.

Likely the best solution would be to set up permanent mounts for the disk using the information found in this forum post:

Thank you, I will certainly try it. And still a great fan of Plex.
