Choosing iTunes and TV libraries on external drive

[stocklen]

Hi All

I decided to start Big Sur with a fresh install.

My iTunes and TV libraries are on an external drive.. and on my previous Catalina installation I simply pointed the library to the iTunes media folder on that drive.

Just set up a fresh install of big sur... and opened TV and iTunes holding down option key to enable me to select my library.

However, when I navigate to the external drive.. the library files just aren't there. They are invisible? I can't even see them through a finder window. Theres no way they have been deleted of course.... but do I have to do something else here?

Confused!!

I have my main music library on an external drive, and have had no issues with Big Sur. How is the external drive partitioned and formatted?

It’s a drobo.
Looks fine. Accessible. Just can’t select a library that was there yesterday.

Saw another thread regarding issues with Drobo via Thunderbolt under Big Sur.
