Creating Mount Points greys out folders. I tried changing ownership and it still did not work.

[Shiroi Kage]

I am trying to set up Plex after moving tons of files and reinstalling FreeNAS. Previously, I would install the plugin, add some mount points to the jail, add library folders, and all was good. This time, the folder to which I added the mount is greyed out.

I tested other folders and this was still the case.

I tried changing the ownership of the in-jail directories using chown to the same value as that shows up next to the Plex and the Plex Media Server directories in the jail (in my case it was 972) and it still did not work.

Below is what the ls -l loos like. The values next to "Plex" and "Plex Media Server" are default. The value next to "media" was changed due to my use of chown.

Code:

root@freenas[/mnt/Z2-0/iocage/jails/plex_server/root]# ls -l

Below is the directory I was trying to add in the first image

Code:

root@freenas[...0/iocage/jails/plex_server/root/media]# ls -l
total 355
d---------+ 855 root  972  856 Apr 13 00:08 anime

The directory "anime" was created with root privileges through SSH.

I have been trying to fix this for a number of hours now. Not sure why it happened all of a sudden. Any help is appreciated.

I am running FreeNAS-11.3-U1
Not sure where to find what version of Plex server this is, but it is what installs directly from the "Plugins" tab on the GUI.

I wish the video I found was still around but you may want to see who has ownership in the Plex Media Server from there go into the Directory where your Anime would be and also check ownership and check for chmods, in the Directory where Anime is Plex should be ownership
