October 30, 20169 yr Hello, I've been using unRAID for quite some time now, and I love it a lot. My question is, and I have no idea where to post this, this is why I'm here. My friend is new to unRAID, and asked me a good question, is it possible to link unRAID to an existing SMB share, so that Plex server can then be linked to a /volume/share on unRAID OS itself? They've got a Windows server machine, that's got their library of things, so all their media, and they've got Plex installed on unRAID, can they link Plex/unRAID to that SMB share?

You use the Unassigned Devices plugin to mount the SMB share, then pass the mount point (/mnt/disks/whateverItIs) as a new volume to the Plex Docker app. Easy...

Thank you so very much Always forget to mention it. When adding that new volume, set the access mode as ReadWrite,Slave (assuming you're using 6.2+)
