I am trying to make a plex server from an old laptop. Everything is ok until I start trying to get my external HDD with actual data to show up. I will attach what I followed to get to where I am. https://support.plex.tv/articles/2002886...-on-linux/ Following this I get to errors at the very end. root@plexladder:/home/plexladder# blkid|grep -i ntfs|sed 's/.*UUID="//g'|cut -d"\"" -f1|awk '{print"UUID="$1" media/ntfsdrive ntfs-3g permissions,auto 0 0"}' UUID=086df05d-2e49-4268-9953-8e4b46541afe media/ntfsdrive ntfs-3g permissions,auto 0 0 root@plexladder:/home/plexladder# ls -al /media/ntfsdrive ls: cannot access '/media/ntfsdrive': No such file or directory root@plexladder:/home/plexladder# sudo mkdir -p /media/ntfsdrive root@plexladder:/home/plexladder# ls -al /media/ntfsdrive total 8 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jul 11 16:03 . drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Jul 11 16:03 .. root@plexladder:/home/plexladder# vi /etc/stab [1]+ Stopped vi /etc/fstabstab root@plexladder:/home/plexladder# vi /etc/fstab root@plexladder:/home/plexladder# sudo mount/media/ntfsdrive sudo: mount/media/ntfsdrive: command not found root@plexladder:/home/plexladder# sudo mount /media/ntfsdrive mount: /media/ntfsdrive: can't find in /etc/fstab. root@plexladder:/home/plexladder# vi /etc/fstab root@plexladder:/home/plexladder# vi /etc/fstab root@plexladder:/home/plexladder# sudo mount /media/ntfsdrive mount: /media/ntfsdrive: can't find in /etc/fstab. root@plexladder:/home/plexladder# sudo mount /dev/sdb /mnt mount: /mnt: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb, missing codepage or helper program, or other error. root@plexladder:/home/plexladder# sudo mkdir /mnt/spider sudo mount -t ntfs-3g -o remove_hiberfile /dev/sdb /mnt/spider mkdir: invalid option -- 't' Try 'mkdir --help' for more information. root@plexladder:/home/plexladder# mkdir /mnt/mydrive root@plexladder:/home/plexladder# mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/mydrive mount: /mnt/mydrive: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb1, missing codepage or helper program, or other error.

Have you attempted to alter the port it was linked to?

It identifies the drive and logs the UUIDs along with its capacity. However, it doesn’t display the information on the Plex mount. I’ll give it a shot.
