I have SFFan Intel NUC running Kubuntu (based on Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS \n \l) & Plex server, headless. I used various guidance to set this up. Normal log inThe normal user account to NUC server isthe machine is 'exharris', and the machine name is 'nucserv'.

The Plex media isfiles are all contained on an old external NTFS Ext 2TB HDUSB HDD 2TB connected to to the NUC.. via USB. i did downloading Because it is NTFS, I have downloaded NTFS-3g... the user on all files/folders on the ext0-hdd all seem to be 'root', as below...

I have mounted this drive to /media/ntfs. I notice that in terminal, ls shows all files been owned by 'root' (not sure how relevant this fact is)

I do now know why ls -a reports the worduser account 'root' twice on each line here, but inperhaps one is owner and the other is the group, I do not fully understand that. In any case.....fstab, this is my fstab...

The UUID of the 2TB disk is listed in fstab so I have no issues there.

/etc/group =

I get the following error when trying to acess

Can anyone else help so I can write to the plex folders from other machines on the LAN via Samba?

I have SFF Intel NUC running Kubuntu (based on Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS \n \l) & Plex, headless. I used various guidance for to set thithis up. Normal log in to NUC server is is 'exharris'

The Plex media foldersis are all on an old NTFS Ext 2TB HD connected to to the NUC... i did downloading ntfsNTFS-3g... the user on all files/folders on the ext0-hdd all seem to be 'root', as below...

I do now know why ls -a reports two x rootthe word 'root' twice on each line here, but in any case.....fstab...

However, altoughalthough I can view all contents in [NUC-EXT2-2TB-Plex] via Samba from other PCs (logeven though I have to log in as 'ben'), but I cannot write to the folder at all (even on the actual machine SSH logged in).

Even on the actual machine SSH logged as Also,as exhardris as user exharris, unless I use sudo, I cannot write to that directory... at all

Maybe this is to be expected.....

, I I wanted more control over the Plex media, so I was was advised to set up a new unixUnix user 'ben' an to do so and associate associate it with a special plex group

exharris is the name of my standard Unix account... below is samba config

The UUID of the 2TB disk is listed in fstab so iI have no issues there. What from /etc/group

Do credentials have to be input in a stangestrange way when accesingaccessing from other machines? The EXT2-2TB is deffo there...

CanoneCan anyone else help so I can write to thethe plex folders from other machines on the LAN via via Samba?
