I have figured out that I was even further confused. When I went into the disks program to figure out what type of partition was on the drive I realized the drive isn’t really at media/RVAtom/SSD it is at mnt/SSD. That makes a little more sense, as I was confused a couple of days ago that it seemed to be in media without me remembering.

Running ls -l on the correct drive gives: rvatom@rvatom-mint-PC:/mnt$ ls -l total 4 drwxr-x—+ 6 rvatom rvatom 4096 Dec 18 22:00 SSD

Under the disks tool I have gone into mount options and checked “mount at system startup”. The drive type is Ext4 I believe. I’m going to try a few more reboots but it seems like Jellyfin is willing to look at this drive now. We may have success.

Great question, no I am running Jellyfin version 10.10.3 in Linux Mint 21.3.

Thank you so much for your help! I went to that folder and the migrations.xml was a blank file, but system.xml was still okay.

I searched a little about the migrations.xml and found a thread on the jellyfin forum with exactly the same problem so I renamed all of the xml files in the /etc/jellyfin folder and it started back up nicely.
