Latest freenas 9.10.2. There was an old thread about mount point and storage but I do not understand it.
I have struggled for 3 to 4 hours a day for a full week now so in desperation I am asking for help. I used the Plex plugin and Cosmo_Kramer tutorial for installing plex:

My setup is as follows:
Source: /mnt/Dell/Media/Media-Share
Destination: /mnt/Dell/jails/Media
And it worked fine since under Media-Share there is Media-Share/Bluray folder which has my movies. Plex was able to see and play bluray with no problem.
The problem occurred when I created/ added storage to add the Media-Share/Movies and/or Media-share/Music to the plexmediaserver.
Plex Player crashed, no access to Freenass. Tried again and again. Crashed and crashed.
So from a jail prompt ls -l /mnt I could not get 1001 and 1002 group and user ID. Instead I got root and wheel. Not sure how user and group are involved. I read and reread Cosmo_Kramer add storage and permission change section.
As a work around I could just add stuff to the bluray folder and that seems to work. I have spent so much time on it already so I really want it to work. I really do not have a clue on how to change permission using chmod or something else. I just don't understand it.
When I changed the source to /mnt/Dell/Media/Media-Share/Bluray as it should be. Plex does not work any more. What is going on here since bluray movies worked fine before.
I did create user and group ID. Not sure if that impact anything here. Thanks for any help.
