Comment on Everyone should have a home server (or a friend that has one)
Smoogs@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoIs there a way around the problem that plex only feeds from ex fat/nt drives but Linux has permission issues networking such a drive? I wanted to have one computer where I’m doing all the formatting and the other being the standalone plex server with them both connected. Samba is being a pain.

Curious about your problem. I’m using NFS instead of samba now, but legitimately never faced any problems doing what you’re describing previously.

There’s two problems. I’m new at setting up the network so no doubt that is mostly my problem. I’m just switching over to nfs now.
But the exfat drive that only works on plex (can’t upload from ext4) is the weird bit I don’t get. Are you storing everything on ext4 for plex? If so how did you trick plex library into seeing it?
