They were in use as traditional hard drives (FAT32) w/ my laptop before. They were not formatted in OMV.

I created an omv Pi solely to share the drives on my network and run a dedicated PMS. I had no issue w/ the drives during traditional use.

OK so I was able to determine that the both HD's aren't allowing me to Write (cannot create new folders, copy files, etc).
I've tried to grant Write permission in every place I can find (File System, SMB, User, Physical Disks, and even allowing open Guest access). Nothing seems to work in allowing write permissions (for myself or the root account on the Pi.

Does this spark any diagnose/fix ideas?

@gderf - thanks for your help. I un/reinstalled with no luck. Same behavior and error.

FYI - HERE is the guide I used to set up the ext drives as NAS.
One HD is a Lacie Quadra (ext powered) and the other is an iDrive One (bus powered). Both are plugged into an AmazonBasics 4 Port USB 3.0 Hub with 5V/2.5A power adapter which feeds into the Pi (to ensure they're not underpowered). I'm having no issues accessing the drives remotely via SMB.

I bought the Pi specifically to get my Plex server off my laptop, so this is a huge bummer.
If you (or anyone else) can think of anything, please advise!

I have two drives attached which have both been tried and both failed.

here is the before, during, and after of my attempt to set the ext HD as DB volume for Plex MS.

I'm trying to assign one of my mounted/shared drives as the Database volume, but it keeps erroring out. Something about permissions. Thus, I cannot enable the Plex Server. Should i bother fixing this, or just bypass and enable through CLI? I can SSH in.

If CLI is the better choice, how is that done? (sorry, noob here )
