Plex wont add movies from NAS

Plex Media Server NAS & Devices

I have the lasted version of plex. I installed it on ubuntu 20. My movies are on a NAS server. Everything was working well till i installed nzbget on a different server. Now Plex will not update or add movies. I mounted the NFS path on the nzbget server with the same path that i put in the plex servers fstab file. Im not sure where to go from here. Im very new to linux

Please also include the DEBUG log files (not VERBOSE) ZIP and we can look at it if the above doesn’t help.

Where would i find the debug logs

I edited the fstab file with the command below. It was working, plex was updating the movies, so im guessing i did it right.

Mapping A Network Share

192.168.1.8:/mnt/array1/test1 /mnt/nfs/test1 nfs auto,noatime,nolock,bg,nfsvers=3,intr,tcp,actimeo=1800 0 0

from the ubuntu terminal, I can see the folders on the NAS. I just cant see whats in the folders. My plex cant add anything to the library

seems you still might have a permission problem then :frowning:

That looks like a failed NFS mount. Unmount it and mount it again. Look at the output of the dmesg command and in /var/log/messages for clues about what might have failed.

Does this look right?
umount -f -l /mnt/nfs/plex

dmesg

I was hoping there would be a useful message about the NFS share in that dmesg output. There isn’t. :slight_smile:

I believe that umount command looks reasonable.

You should make sure that the NFS share is mounted and browsable (with ls) before returning to Plex.

When you configured the additional system to access the NFS share, did you make any changes on the NAS?

13

tried the remount. I got the same error. Whats crazy is. Everything was working fine till it wasnt lol

14

How is the share exported?

Does “everyone” have read-only?

The NFS server should not impose any username requirement (allow the “host”).

15

I didnt put any access restrictions on it. It has Read & Write. Should it be read only?

Does your server require you to add the client IP?

Also, what are the directory and file permissions inside the server.

Some servers, like synology, only use ACLs . NFS can be quirky if not setup correctly (it needs a plex user in Synology to access via ACL correctly)

What is that NAS server? TeraStation?
