On the left is my ubuntu rig running via teamviewer clearly showing the contents of "Disk 2"

On the right is disk 2 failing to show any subfolders on Plex.



This is an issue with pretty much every program that needs to browse to a folder. It is a permissions issue? I can't seem to figure it out.

I am a little confused about the setup. Is Plex running on the Ubuntu system on the left?

Disk2 is probably mounted and owned by root so if Plex is running as a non root user then it wont be able to access Disk 2. If you are not concerned about other uses on the system accessing Disk 2 then just chmod -R 777 Disk2 . If that doesnt work, do a df -h and show how Disk2 is mounted.

Click to expand...

Issue was the second disc wasn't mounting until I signed into the computer using teamviewer. Fixed it by adding it to fstab and having it mount prior to login.

auto mount is a hell of a drug.
