Lessaj 59 Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 How are you mounting the drive? via fstab? What do the permissions look like on the top level of the drive? IE if it's mounted to /mnt/external show the permissions at the /mnt level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lessaj 59 Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 (edited) Okay so the drive is mounted as the root user but the phantomzwar folder underneath /media is set to 750 permissions, which means root has full access, and the root group has read and execute (which basically means can navigate through it) but "others" (your user, as well as emby) would not have access to the folder. However, with the + there that means that there's an ACL defined, separate from the permissions shown. Depending on how you mounted the drive, which may have been done automatically by the system or done through a GUI, this likely gives your user permission on it, you can try to check with this command and see what it says. getfacl /media/phantomzwar Having said that, depending on what you want emby to be able to do with this mount point, you might be able to fix this with just: sudo chmod 755 /media/phantomzwar This should allow emby to at least read into this, the folders underneath this point might have a similar problem, but if you want emby to be able to write to this for NFOs or BIFs you might have to do more to change the permissions, or change how you mount it with uid and gid options set to the emby user. I understand from your first post that this is new to you, but file/folder permissions/ownership is a very critical thing to understand and I'd highly recommend doing some further reading on the subject.
