Trying to use block storage with my instance for Jellyfin

Hello all,

I have a Dedicated server setup with easypanel and Jellyfin installed with it. I added 640gb of block storage too the dedicated server as a secondary storage block but was unable to get jellyfin to recognize the block storage pool. It would be great for anyone that has a better idea of how I would be able too get jellyfin to read that block storage pool which I have setup with the following commands (see below):

Create the filesystem:

mkfs.ext4 "/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-0Linode_Volume_testvolume"

Create the mount point for the storage block:

mkdir "/mnt/testvolume"

Mounted the storage block volume:

mount "/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-0Linode_Volume_testvolume" "/mnt/testvolume"

The fourth line is (Optional) from what I was told on the phone with Linode support staff (Thanks to Sofia for helping me with this).

When I try to mount the block volume:

/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-0Linode_Volume_testvolume" "/mnt/testvolume

it doesn't work.

Jellyfin can't seem to read the block storage location seen above.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Mike

I may have found my solution and I am waiting for Easypanel to reboot my Jellyfin Server Instance too see if the mount point I added in will actually work.
