Instead of trying to explain what the hell has been going on with my computer in regards to Plex I'm just going to lay things out as plainly as possible. So this issue has been going on for the better part of a year.  Every, single time I restarted my computer the "fstab" file would reassign these lovely labels: sdd1, sdb1, sdc1 to the external hard drives that I have plugged into the box.  That would cause the box to think the Cardinal drive was the Xtralite box, etc.  This would further complicate things for Plex, and completely put the server offline. Up until today this is how my fstab file look in the section of the file that addressed my external drives: `#Added by Tyler Durden for Plex Media Server /dev/sdc1 /home/wm/.03-mnt/Sanctuary ext4 defaults 0 0 /dev/sdd1 /home/wm/.03-mnt/Xtralite ext4 defaults 0 0 /dev/sdb1 /home/wm/.03-mnt/Cardinal ext4 defaults 0 0` Did some Googling around and found out that to remedy the problem you should use UUID's at the beginning and not the "/dev/sdXX" variable. So now my file looks like this: `#Added by Tyler Durden for Plex Media Server UUID=833d1fe1-b434-48df-add5-e76337b894cc /home/wm/.03-mnt/Sanctuary ext4 defaults 0 0 UUID=1c108d69-fac8-4fab-9de1-2e4b272ecad9 /home/wm/.03-mnt/Xtralite ext4 defaults 0 0 UUID=94cdfaf3-3b07-4d3c-9928-70a6e750bb16 /home/wm/.03-mnt/Cardinal ext4 defaults 0 0` And restarted **three+ times** and everything worked still! How do you find out your UUID's for your devices? Fire off the `sudo blkid` command to list off your devices. This has been very aggravating, so I wanted to throw up something so I can find this again, and perhaps someone else can too!
