  • Try to see what mounts you have currently. I guess you need to make sure your /jellyfin is sym linked to /home/user/music or where ever media stuff is. So if it was your external drive you would need a symbolic link with /jellyfin and /mnt/drive name/music or whatever.

    Also, like someone said earlier, you can make a /etc/fstab entry so your device mounts the same every time, but you need to use the specific UUID and not like /dev/sda or whatever. Sym link should always work then. That’s the only thing I can think of that would cause an error after a move unless you have needed changes in Jellyfin group. Maybe be sure that your media is accessible to jellyfin.

    Hope some of this helps. I don’t have my notes and I forget even basic things so check syntax.

    Relevant commands: (Use blkid for UUID I think) /dev/SDB is just an example. Get the specific info from mount -a or fdisk -l.

    1. What do I have mounted?
    2. What is my drive info?
    3. Mount my stuff with info from fdisc -l.
    4. Show me stuff is now mounted.
    5. Now give me UUID so I can put in fstab and mount on boot and so the /dev/sdx naming doesn’t change every time.
    mount -a
    
    fdisc -l
    
    sudo mount /dev/sda /mnt
    
    mount -a 
    
    blkid
    

    Grab UUID and go put in /etc/fstab in place of the /dev/sdb type format.

    Symbolic link is just: ln -s source destination Might need to check syntax though.

    ln -s /jellyfin /mnt/drivename/music
    

    Let me know if need help with the fstab entry. I just can’t recall it off the top of my head. The format is too long. Hopefully my explanation was easy to follow though. Also, I can’t recall but I think when you replace /dev/sdx format, you need to put:

    UUID=
    

    before the long ID.
