Good evening,
I installed Plex Server on a Raspberry pi4 with an external USB disk (always connected). Everything works perfectly, only the /var/lib/plexmediaserver/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Metadata directory fills up continuously, making the SD card full.
I would like to have metadata written to the USB disk, for example, in /media/pi/Media/Metadata. Where/How can I set this up?
This forum post describes how to move the Plex data folder to a new location:
Permissions under /media do not work as you’d expect will likely cause issues. I’d recommend against using the auto-mounted location (/media/pi/…) and create a /etc/fstab entry for the USB drive. Make user plex the owner, or at least give it full rwx access.
