problem after replacing external disk

[domenic 33]

Hi I am running on debian testing 386 build.  All fine but I had a disk issue in which I have copied the data to a new drive  and mounted it to the same location.  The only difference is I switched file systems from NTFS to XFS as this will perform better.

 

The emby server no longer can access the data.  In the web browser it displays the mount point but after I select it none of the data is shown.  I have verified that the  mediabrowser account can access the data  by allowing account to logon and changing to the mount. I also have a different XFS file system mounted which is displayed in the browser and can be explored.

 

any ideas?

Sounds like a permissions issue. What is the output of ls -l /path/to/media?

nope, I changed the mediabrowser account (changed \bin\false to \bin\bash) and am able to logon and access the data, I have also added mediabrowser to the root group.

 

Note am trying to see /mnt/usb/TV

So I have not found a proper soloution.  What I have done is re-mounted the same drive as a samba mount (same high level folder with a different name) and the server is able to scan..... very unusual.
