Server Version#: Not sure - I can’t start it now to check, but it was updated within the past year or so.
I’m transferring PMS from my Drobo5N to an unRAID box I’m setting up. I’m in the process of trying to copy over all the metadata so I can retain things like watch history, thumbnails, etc.
When trying to tar up the Plex Media Server directory (at /mnt/DroboFS/Shares/DroboApps/plex/Library/Plex Media Server/), I get many errors like this one… and yes, this is one line, but it’s so long that I’m intentionally NOT formatting it as code since it really needs the word wrapping to be properly appreciated:

Basically there’s an (attempt at making an) infinite loop filename.
Now, this PMS instance has been running since sometime in 2014, so if these filenames were caused by some already-fixed bug, great, but I figured I’d best mention it.
Can I safely remove those files from the Drobo without breaking Plex?
