Dave3000 3 Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 I'm having a hard time mounting my USB hard drive that is NTFS formatted and as a result Emby Server (Linux) can't detect my Movies and TV Shows directory on my USB hard drive. I even edited the fstab file with the correct UUID of the USB hard drive but ended up with an emergency login instead of a normal login next time I rebooted into Linux Mint and no permanently mounted USB hard drive. Is there a Emby Server setup guide for Linux somewhere online that mentions how to mount USB hard drives that are in NTFS format? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll need to install the support package before Linux will even allow you to mount it. IIRC its called something like ntfs-3g. Google has tons of information regarding mounting NTFS drives in Linux, I'd start there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave3000 3 Posted December 7, 2019 Author Share Posted December 7, 2019 I finally got it permanently mounted. I did not need to install an ntfs-3g package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
