Good day Michael,
Much good and bad water has passed under my bridge since my last communication.
Am using 19.10 with success so far. Had a good experience with 17.10 and 19.04 seems to be falling into a 'rather not use' bucket.
2 queries I have.
- your last advice.
"One other thing. I may have been wrong to advise you to make the mountpoints be yours. I just noticed that my mountpoint is (and was) owned by root. Having external1 and external2 be owned by ray could slow
down their mounting. In any case NTFS has no ownership so the mountpoints don't have to be owned by the user."
My Plex sees owner ray, but root it does not see.
Maybe my use of chown is faulty.
sudo sh to get user root.
chown -R ray:ray /home/external1 [ -R is probably unnecessary, root variation is root:root, also /home/external2]
View with ls -la to ensure owner.
Is this OK, what do suggest?

This reference I am having difficulty finding - just my ignorance showing.

Directions please?
Before I start fresh with Plex on 19.10 I'd like to absorb that article.
