Hello!
I have followed the handy guide (https://forums.plex.tv/t/using-ext-ntfs-or-other-format-drives-internal-or-external-on-linux/198544)
but am having issues with the final step. here’s my ls and df
When I go to add the folders in plex, it is not seen.
In the files app, I verified that my user has access to r/w everything.
Can you post a screenshot of trying to add these directories to your library?
Is PMS installed on your local machine or a separate machine? And if it is installed on another machine, is that where you mounted the disks?
PMS is mounted on local machine. Drives are local as well.
I basically did a clean install of ubuntu (where I had been using win10) and used the guide to mount the drives, as they have movies and such on them.
ls -l /disks/
Got it! Just wanted to make sure.
I know I’ve seen this similar issue posted on the forums before. I’ll see if I can find it. In the meantime, can you go to post the output of ls / -l? I just want to make sure Plex has read access to those directories.
Yes, root owns those, but that doesn’t matter as everything else has permission as well. This is odd.
for what it’s worth, Nautilus doesn’t list them either
ls -l /
You can try changing the ownership of disks to root and see if that helps. sudo chown root:root /disks.
That’s normally how I would do it. Mount inside of that and make sure that’s where you have permsision to read and write.
Still odd. Plex and everything else should have read access.
no luck
Linux has a standard place for mounts, /mnt. Better to mount your disks there.
Still, it is odd that /disks/ is not even displayed in your list of folders in plex, because technically all users have at least read access there according to your screenshots (you can copy the output of the console as text btw and paste it here).
I might be wrong about the permissions, you need to set it as 755.
Literally following the guide and changing as needed , as I am way out of my depth on this 
I see, just checked chucks post…
I don’t know what is going on… Best of luck to resolve it
gray@gray-System-Product-Name:~ sudo find /disks/b -type f -exec chmod 755 {} \;
gray@gray-System-Product-Name:~ sudo find /disks/c -type f -exec chmod 755 {} ;
gray@gray-System-Product-Name:~$ ls -l /disks
total 1044
drwxrwxrwx 1 root root 1048576 Dec 31 1969 b
drwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20480 Apr 16 03:18
Hey, just for giggles, go ahead as restart your machine if you haven’t. You added fstab entires, right? I want to make sure they automatically mount. That will also restart PMS service all in one go.
restarted, and all is the same. 
BTW, thank you all for the help- with all luck my weirdness will help someone else once this gets resolved.
