  • From what I understand this is a problem with FAT32 formatted drives specifically since it doesn’t use the Linux file system. Reformatting is not an option at the moment.

    What this does is give my user ownership when you plug in a usb device, which allows rw.

    I have it set up to mount on startup, but it mounts to root ownership. Now, I remount it and the owner becomes my user.

    I honestly can’t remember what I did to make it happen, but it always mounts to /mnt/drivename

    I’m using this for a Jellyfin server. Before I added this rule, I couldn’t add folders past the drive itself as a library, so I see this as progress. I just want to edit meta data now.

    Edit: I do have it in my fstab file listed by device ID with these settings:

    LABEL=drivename /mnt/drivename/ auto rw,user,exec,nofail,x-gvfs-show,dev,auto 0 0
