Server Version#: 4.8.3 Player Version#: Hi, I love my plex media server, which I run on a Raspberry Pi. The problem I am having is that the metadata for my media is stored automatically on the root of my Raspberry Pi. The SD Card runs out of space very quickly and the server stops responding th…

Finally figured it out. In fstab, when mounting the external drive, exec needs to be one of the final values in the list. User implies noexec, so if ‘user’ comes after ‘exec’, it undoes the exec option.
