A power outage brought down my Jellyfin server (not usually an issue) and then playback devices started reporting an error. Checking the log in JF, a permissions issue is noted. Quick check to see external drive (holding my media) is mounted and functioning as it should. Permissions for jellyfin users/group are fine and intact. Some investigation time later, I find that two drives are showing as mounted via terminal. One has the name of the drive, the other appends a 1. I try exploring each and find one I can access, the other gives me permission denied. Try giving myself permission... no go. Disconnect my physical drive and set aside. Note other dir is still shown. Decided to nuke that dir and then reconnect the external drive... it mounts as intended and after a restart of JF all is as it should be.
What causes this hiccup?
*Bonus, my jellyfin server got an update ;)
