My issue was locale based. Even though I had set up locale originally (I am in Canada) it seems it was not correct. I found a HowTo on setting up locale in ArchLinux and was able to get Plex to start (finally).

 

It appears all is now good, and I hope it stays that way.

 

Thanks for the assistance.

Haha,  I had a locale issue in the past as well,  most annoying for sure

Great work.

Would one of you be able to remind me how to properly redirect the Library file to another drive?

 

I created a 250GB disk, and thought it was just using: ln -s "original dir" "new dir", however when I do this and start to build my library I see the space disappearing on the main disk, not the data disk.

 

I tried just updating the conf.d/plexmediaserver path for the library but I get a SEGFAULT:

 

[root@archvm data]# systemctl status plexmediaserver -l

I know I had this up and running fine at one point, but have lost track of how I set this up.

It's in my ArchVM guide thread. Post number 1.

Your post explains how to create the data store and mount as another drive in the VM, which I've done. I am using the data disk for SAB. My question is how I redirect /opt/plexmediaserver/Library to /mnt/data/plexmediaserver/Library

 

If I am blind, then sorry, but I don't see this (I just read through it again to be sure).

I moved the Library and everything below to my mounted  data.img  and then edited the plex conf file to point the library to the new location

Maku sure ownership is correct after you move the library

Thanks. I had done this, but had to redo it. I also had to copy over all the files under /opt/plexmediaserver/Library to /mnt/data/plexmediaserver/Library as it was complaining about missing files.

 

Once again, I think I am all good.

 

 

 

 

I just went to the dir Library was in and did a mv command to /mnt/data/ for me - but whatever works

 

so everything for me above the Library dir is still in /opt/plexmediaserver, just Library and subfolders are on my mounted data.img inside the VM

I am basically the same now - I just copied rather than moved the data from Library.

 

Thanks again for the assistance. I am happy to have Plex working properly again.
