December 27, 20205 yr I receive the following error "Invalid folder Transcode contained within /mnt". If I reboot the server it will clear for a while, then reappear as an error in the "Fix Common Problems" Plugin.
December 27, 20205 yr Community Expert This almost certainly means you have a docker container with a disk mapping to this location.
December 27, 20205 yr Community Expert Find the container and fix the mapping From the name it is likely to be Plex or something similar.
December 28, 20205 yr Author I can see that Host Path 2 (Container Path: /transcode) points to /mnt . Where is it supposed to point?
December 28, 20205 yr Author Based on this tuorial I set it to point to /tmp. We'll see if that works

It is supposed to point to wherever you want file transcodes to take place. Common options are /tmp (RAM), /{path to a folder on the cache SSD or unassigned device SSD), /{path to a transcode folder in the Plex appdata folder), etc. /mnt is definitely not where you want it to point.
December 29, 20205 yr Author So, I edited to /tmp. stopped the application, rebooted the array, and now plex has a server error. Now, how do I fix this?

We'll see if that works You would be better of giving a unique folder under /tmp (e.g. /tmp/transcode) so that there is no risk of files under /tmp belonging to other applications being inadvertently deleted leading to unexpected errors.
December 29, 20205 yr Author Thanks, I will look into that tonight. Would that be a folder I have to create?
