You’ll know everything is complete two ways:

  1. There will be no “Library/Application Support/ Plex Media Server” structure in the “Plex” shared folder. It will all have been moved to “PlexMediaServer/AppData/Plex Media Server”

  2. The file “Plex/Migration.log” will detail each step of the process and finish with “Cleaning /volume1/Plex”

  3. Any media you had placed in the Plex shared folder will remain there.
    The Plex shared folder is now free for you to use as you deem appropriate.

After migration:

  1. The user “Plex” is no longer needed.

  2. You will now need to grant "System Internal User PlexMediaServer permission to read your files (we were forced to change the name)
