Plex Database keeps Corrupting

I’ve been following this here, and on the unRaid forum. Lots of people having problems with their Plex database being corrupted after updating unRaid from 6.6.7 to 6.7.0. Long story, but I’ve been trying to find a solution since May 12th.

In my research, I came across a piece that said having your appdata spread across the array can cause this. The recommendation was to have appdata either on a cache drive only, or on a single dedicated drive in the array.

I rolled unRaid back to 6.6.7, removed the Plex folder from appdata, reinstalled Plex from scratch and ran it for two weeks just to make sure it was stable.

Before I did the rollback, I installed a cache drive and configured my appdata share to be cache only. I moved the appdata folder from each of my 14 drives to the cache drive. With everything running smoothly, I updated unRaid from 6.6.7 to 6.7.0 on June 13th.

That was one week ago today, and I’m still running error free.It seems that having your appdata folder set to cache only, or set to a single drive rather than spread across the array solved the problem.
