Invalid folder appdata contained within /mnt & Invalid folder cache contained within /mnt

[Mustard_Tiger]

Hi Guys

 

After a reboot I got this error, I think it may have something to do with plex.

 

ERRORS FOUND

Invalid folder appdata contained within /mnt

Invalid folder cache contained within /mnt

 

 

I changed the app data config path -

/mnt/appdata/Plex-Media-Server

 

to

 

/mnt/cache/appdata/Plex-Media-Server

 

But I have since changed it back as it wipes all my plex settings after a reboot 😑

 

See logs attached

 

Many thanks

You do not have a cache pool named "appdata".  This means that the meta-data which plex saves will be stored in RAM and lost when you reboot (ie: Invalid folder appdata within /mnt)

 

Changing it to /mnt/cache results in the exact same thing since you do not have a cache pool named "cache"

 

Rather than typing in the paths, you should be clicking and then using the file browser to select the appropriate path (either /mnt/cache_nvme or /mnt/cache_ssd)

 

Should be noted that when installing Plex via apps, your path would have been correct (/mnt/user/appdata), and then via the share settings for Appdata you would dictate which cache drive that share uses

Thank you for your help

 

I was following a guide from IBRACORP who suggested the change however some comments below stated that I would run into this problem. https://youtu.be/S4fcR4s15OI

 

 

Am I ok to ignore the errors found?

Not unless you want to keep losing your appdata information   You need to correct the errors as suggested by @Squid

I have changed my plex appdata to (/mnt/user/appdata) as suggested and my settings were intact after a reboot 👍

The two error are now gone from Fix Common Problems
