Fix plex media server access removable device
Raw
fix_plex.md

Plex media server can't access automounted drive with udisks.

Here is an ugly workaround to fix it.

Change User and Group to root in the service file plexmediaserver.service.

sudo nano /usr/lib/systemd/system/plexmediaserver.service

Example:

[Unit]
Description=Plex Media Server
After=network.target

[Service]
EnvironmentFile=/etc/conf.d/plexmediaserver
ExecStart=/usr/lib/plexmediaserver/Plex\x20Media\x20Server
Type=simple
User=root
Group=root
Restart=on-failure
RestartSec=5
StartLimitInterval=60s
StartLimitBurst=3

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Then restart the service.

systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl restart plexmediaserver.service
