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.

How do you mount your volume?
I don’t do anything special. When I connect the device to my machine by USB, it is recognized and mounts itself. Once that happens, it becomes connectable via CLI and GUI. Very much like what happens in a windows or mac environment.
Ah. Personally I’d do the mounting via fstab to get a consistent path.
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.
