My main drive is filling up quickly with server related data. I need to get this off the main drive so the computer can still be usable. I have an external SSD via thunderbolt 3 that is holding the transcode data and I would also like to move the server data here. Is it possible to do this, and if so, how? I figure I’ll have to point the plex server in a new direction once the data is moved, but I’m unsure as to how to point the plex server to a new location.
There’s no setting in Plex Media Server to specify the metadata location. You can however symlink the Plex application data folder to another location.
You may want to make that ‘mv’ command a ‘cp’ command (and rename the existing folder).
This worked beautifully! Thanks again for reaching out to help. I ended up using the ‘mv’ command because my permissions were set that it wouldn’t let me copy a directory folder. I backed up the plex media files first and then proceeded to do the copy command as instructed. I thought this would be a lot tougher, but it just…worked. Much appreciated!
