I have a Qnap DAS. It is set up in a raid5 configuration. The problem is that each time I reboot my machine (ubuntu 24.04 LTS), the path of the DAS will auto-increment up by one.

For example the path will automatically go from media/raid57/medialib to media/raid58/medialib. That means I need to manually redo all file paths and then re-scan my entire media library for Jellyfin, each time I reboot my machine (which is like 2-3 times a month).

It is getting pretty annoying and I'm wondering if someone knows why this happens and what I can do to fix it.

Ah. Personally I'd do the mounting via fstab to get a consistent path.

Just remember to use the nofail option so that it doesn't halt the boot process if it's not available.

Got it. Thanks. I'll try that. It won't wipe my existing data, right?

It should be safe, using fstab is how I do a network mount to a specific folder also so it doesn't change or anything.
