To answer the question: [Linux Tips - #9 by ChuckPa](https://forums.plex.tv/t/linux-tips/276247/9)

Depending on the type of connection between file server and Plex server and the type of file system which is used for media file storage, inotify may not work.

But I cannot provide details about that, as I’m no Linux expert.
