wisem2540 Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 From the research I have done, apparently you cannot create a symlink to a user share. Here is my situation.... I have a folder \\unraid\Share\Trailers\ that I want to appear in \\Unraid\Movies\SomeRandomMovie\Trailers A few things to note. Apparently, my Share and Trailers folder are spread across multiple disks. So I have a few questions. 1. Am I correct that in my current setup, my symlink will not work? 2. If so, what happens if I change my SHARE to only use one disk? Does the data move or would I have to empty it before making the change? 3. Is that my best course of action, to put this share on only one disk then mount the symlink directly do the disk? Thanks Link to comment

What I think is the restriction is that hard links will not work, but soft ones (ln -s) are fine. Link to comment
wisem2540 Posted August 30, 2015 Author Share Posted August 30, 2015 Your suggestion works. However, plex doesnt appear to read the trailers with soft links. What a bummer Link to comment
