Trying to route things around like that won’t work.
I have my computer’s normal /home/chuck
My NAS’s (name Glockner) RAID volume is named /vol on the NAS.
I NFS mount Glockner:/vol/media (where I put all my media mounted as /glock/media).
All the other shared folders from my NAS are still in /glock with all my media folders under /glock/media.
[chuck@lizum glock.1999]$ ls
backup/ cakewalk/ git/ math/ pfsense/ plexinc/ qa/ test-files/ vmhdd/
bin/ colleagues/ iso/ media/ plex/ primo/ software/ usenet/
[chuck@lizum glock.2000]$
PMS on this computer, finds all my movies on /glock/media/movies
I don’t put transcoder temp files over the network. There is a problem with file locking ( the file server cannot lock the transcoder’s temp files with exclusive access and guarantee it )
Notice it’s not anywhere near my home directory.
Linux is very strict on these things.
Take a look at this and tell me if it makes any sense to you ?

I use NFS for file sharing. Here’s an example of how to use NFS for shared folders on the PMS host using NFS
- If you’ve got a Windows file server , it would be done this way.
