Using second drive (ext4) in Linux--tried the tip

Plex Media Server Desktops & Laptops
,
2

My solution was to

  1. change the username in /etc/default/plexmediaserver [edit: this did nothing, see below]
  2. re-mount (with bind) the Videos folder by itself to a new root folder and
  3. set permissions as in Chuck’s instructions.

(Following the tip by itself did not work.)

I added the following to /etc/fstab

/hdd/Videos /VideoMount none defaults,bind 0 0

This finally allowed me to add libraries at /VideoMount/Movies and /VideoMount/TVShows.

(Strangely, for that last one, TV Shows with a space no longer worked as it did on my earlier machine; I had to eliminate the space.)

I have no idea why this incantation worked and others did not.
