I ran two terminals with the dd on same file at same time and it seems fine like you said.

I’ve had this plex setup working just fine for maybe 5 months prior? and prior to that for about 4 years in docker on a different host. all on the same network with the same plex settings. I’m unsure what to make of the disruption, was there anything in the logs that pointed to something on plex? The only thing I haven’t done yet in troubleshooting is move the db off and do a complete reinstall on the host.
