I am facing an issue with Plex, but I don't think it is a Plex issue per se. So, better posting here.

When adding my music library via user share to Plex, the scan isn't reliable. It stops every few minutes and I cannot scan all of it as I need to restart every few minutes. It all works very well if I add the library via a disk share (instead of user share).

So, this is an issue about the reliability to access data via a user share instead of disk share.

Any thoughts whether there is some Unraid tuning that can make user share faster / more reliable / more accessible?

Not something I have seen reported before so not sure where to look.

You are likely to get better informed feedback if you attach your system’s diagnostics (with everything in the one zip file) to your next post in this thread as it may supply dome glued as to why you see this behaviour. It is always a good idea when asking questions to supply your diagnostics so we can see details of your system, how you have things configured, and the current syslog.

Fair. Let me do that. Let me also keep monitoring whether it indeed works reliably with disk shares. Will keep monitoring and revert with logs.

It seems I may have celebrated too early. Even after changing from user to disk share, the Plex music library scan is not completing. It did run much longer though, so this may be by chance?

Attaching the dianostic log, but the issue may be a Plex docker issue rather than an Unraid issue? Thoughts?
