#Changed how I was mounting a USB drive and now add-on can't use it due to permissions

I was using Immich with its data folder in an external USB drive.

I mounted this drive using the add-on Samba NAS2. This one mounted the volume in /mnt/4tb/ with a virtual hook (no clue what's the right name) and then shared it as network storage too.

I was using Immich with this data route: /media/4tb/immich/.

Samba NAS2 add-on was a bit unreliable and sometimes it crashed, breaking the setup. So I searched for a different way of mounting the USB drive directly. This was via udev rule.

Now the drive (untouched), same label, same files, is mounted directly on /media/4tb/. Exactly the same.

I started Immich back again, and I got this log.

It seems it's able to find the right folder, but then it tries to set permissions and it can't.

Any idea if I need to do anything HA side with the USB mount?

Thanks.

Nevermind, somehow it started after some time on its own.
