Troubles setting up Plex in fresh Linux Mint install. in c/[email protected]

I like this guide! However, I keep running into an Operation not permitted error when attempting to change the ownership to the plex.plex group. I've run into this a few times and cannot seem to get around it.

EDIT: Got it working, though still running into an operation not permitted error. Though, I unmounted and remounted the drives changing the uid to a new mount point. Plex is able to see the files now!

Now to start messing with docker...

EDIT 2: Short lived, changes revert after reboot and have to remount again with changes.

Hello all, I've been reading this community from the outside for some time, and I finally decided to dip my toe into Linux a bit. I have an old PC I was using to run Plex through a Windows install, but this is now a Linux Mint Cinnamon machine.

I have Plex Media Server installed and running, however I am having a hell of a time getting it to see my external drive where my media is located.

Trying a bunch of research, it seems like it is a permissions issue that I cannot seem to shake. Plex is able to see the drive, though nothing in it. I've googled as much as I can, but none of the suggestions seem to help me. I've tried to run the command chown, though I get an operation not successful error in return.

ls -la never shows the plex user or group listed, and I've tried for about 2 hours trying various things and have had no success.

Additionally, the other two drives I have connected are stuck in read only as well.

Anything I may have overlooked?

Just reinforcing the do first, apologize later mentality. They'll get away with as much as they possibly can, then drop an "I'm sowwy" like a BP CEO in South Park.

I bought this for the 360 and it blew my mind at the time. I had never played a Half Life game before, and that coupled with TF2 led me down the path to PC building for the superior gaming platform. I owe a lot to The Orange Box!

I really wanted to get into this game, but had such a hard time grasping the combat.
