This is, however, unsuitable for running LMS, since - LMS will start before the user session is started - the LMS user will not see a NTFS file system mounted by another user

It only needs to write to it's own files (which should be on the root partition anyway, in /var/lib/logitechmediaserver/), and to the playlist directory if you use them. It doesn't have anything to do with recognizing music files (in fact, my LMS has been running for years without having write access to the partition where the audio files are located) JimCo06 wrote: > > If this sounds like what is happening to you, you might want to try > adding ntfs-39.
