I’ve been reading googled forums for an hour or more now. I’ve updated my fstab to mount my second internal drive. Here’s my fstab entry I just added…
/dev/sdb1 /media/david/exthd ext4 defaults 0 0
I’ve used chmod to change all permissions on my exthd to be 777. Not the most secure…
sudo nano /etc/default/plexmediaserver
I’ve added the plex user to root.
Any more ideas what I need to do to get Plex to be able to see my media on my second hard drive?
No. I’m sorry but that is unfortunately entirely the wrong way.
Undo everything you’ve done.
/etc/defaults/plexmediaserver is no longer used since 2016.
Everything in /media belongs to your username. Gnome blocks user plex
Below is how to do it.

Well I got it to work. My external hard drive was mounted to /media/david/exthd. Some reason when I moved it to /media/exthd, plex could see the folders.
If a manual mount (via /etc/fstab ) Gnome’s automounter (the root cause) is not involved and everything works again.
