January 17, 20215 yr I am completely new to all of this so sorry in advance for what are noob problems... I have an array with 14 drives and a single parity, I have 1 cache drive and 2 drives in unassigned devices. My plan was to use one of the unassigned drives (an NVMe drive) as the home for Plex and a few other dockers and use the cache drive for downloads. I have managed to change the default location for docker appdata and iso files to go to the NVMe drive but now it seems I am stuck or have really messed things up. I am now trying to install a Plug-in for Plex but cannot for the life of me get to the directory to copy over the file. ( I am using MacOS but also have a Win10 pc here too)
January 17, 20215 yr Community Expert Is plex docker working for you from the Unassigned Device? Can you access the Unassigned Device on the network?

The Plex docker is working and I have been able to connect the libraries to shares on the array. The unassigned does not let me connect on the network... I have tired chmod a+w on the directory I need to add files to. When I connect to <tower> over the network the only thing listed is the public "Plex Media" share and the nested Movies, TV Shows, Audiobooks folders.

January 18, 20215 yr Community Expert @wjmiller it is not clear to me what you think you need to copy to the unassigned drive in your Use Case if you have configured Plex to use the unassigned drive then it’s working files will go there. The media files used by Plex I would expect to remain on the main array. Am I missing something or is just that you are not familiar with using Unraid.
January 18, 20215 yr Author I have a Plex plug-in (.bundle) that I would like to add into the plug-ins folder under appdata. I do admit that I am still getting used to navigating Unraid but I am fairly comfortable with Plex and the configuration I am after, just figuring out how to do it in Unraid is the hurdle. Tomorrow I’ll be trying to figure out how to get 90TB of media onto the array from externals.
