naddel81 Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 Hi, I have two 4TB hdds with my Windows Plex Server. Can I Partition a 8TB Drive to Clone the Plex Setup in unraid? Plex needs the Same Layout to Work when cloning a Database. Quote Link to comment
JonathanM Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 Short answer, no, each array drive is a single volume using all available space. Long answer, Unraid is linux based, and the paths are going to be completely different between a windows and linux install of plex. Disclaimer, I am an emby user, so I don't have first hand experience with this, but here is supposed to be a guide of sorts. https://support.plex.tv/articles/201370363-move-an-install-to-another-system/ 1 Quote Link to comment
naddel81 Posted April 26 Author Share Posted April 26 thanks, so in conclusion: I can copy everything to the single 8TB drive and then point plex to the corresponding folders. folders are called shares in linux? no partitioning supported/needed. thanks for the link! Quote Link to comment

In Unraid, the root folders on each disk or pool can be exported as user shares. I recommend watching spaceinvader one's Unraid videos on youtube, he has a load of very informative content. 1 Quote Link to comment
