[Discuss] mount ext4 partition in fstab with different gid

[John Blomfield]

Thanks for confirming my suspicions. I have solved my problem as you 
suggest by changing ownerships to the "users" group that already has the 
same gid in both OS's. I then had to make sure serviio was a member of 
the users group and all the files had the necessary group read permissions.
