Plex TrueNAS-12.0-RELEASE Library Add from Different NAS

[chardie26]

I have a Plex Sever that I setup on FreeNas/TrueNas I also have a 2nd NAS that runs unraid that I only use for Storage my Feenas Storage is running low im trying to get my Plex Sever to mount share Libaray that I have publish on my unraid server. Im at a loss on how to get it mounted on freenas I planned on buying new drives sometime in the future but until then this seemed like a simple work around but i cant figure out how it is done if it can at all.

Server Version#: Version 1.21.0.3608
Player Version#:

I am running Plex on FreeNAS too. I don’t think that FreeNAS can mount a foreign network share or that the Plex jail can mount a foreign network share. Your best bet is to check out the FreeNAS/TrueNAS forums.

I agree this is more of a TrueNAS topic.

You can mount a remote share in TrueNAS, and then map the mounted directory into the jail.

NFS is probably simplest. Configure the unRAID server to export the share, making sure the TrueNAS host IP address is permitted.

On the TrueNAS host, in a console:

mkdir /mnt/networkshare (or whatever)
mount -t nfs unraid.ip.add.ress:/path/to/share /mnt/networkshare
ls /mnt/networkshare/

Add that mount command as an Init Script in TrueNAS so it happens on reboot.

Edit the plugin/jail settings. Add a mount point for /mnt/networkshare in the jail.
