+1 check in a debian or Ubuntu other Linux forum/tutorial for advice . Basic issue is that the automounted USB drive gets mounted for the logged in user . LMS is its own user and dont have access . By putting the USB drive in fstab just like any other HD gives you control over mount options , I cant give solid advice whats best for NTFS drives, but one mount option i would use is -nofail (in case the drive is not connected ) There are tools for getting the UUID of a drive . And in FSTAB you can specify a mount point in the file system where the drive will be and it will always be in the same place/path all the time . I have an NTFS partition mounted , but probably not by "best practice" :) in any way so i rather not share that fstab entry (similar can be googled anywhere ) . This is not a LMS problem ,just a function of how many linux systems like debian mount USB drives -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
