Plex unable to play media if volume mapping has changed on host

Hi All,

So I recently moved to Plex on Docker and moved my media to be mounted on my linux box directly. It was a NTFS drive so I shrunk the NTFS partition and created a EXT4 partition and copied all of my data onto the EXT4 side. I had plex on docker pointing to my NTFS partition to minimize downtime and then I went into my docker container and remapped /media to my ext4 partition and plex would fail to play any media giving me the following error: Please check that the file exists and the necessary drive is mounted.

At first I thought it was a permissions thing and spend days on end trying to see why the hell it didn’t work. At this point I had remapped it back to NTFS. I went ahead and added a second location to my library that pointed to my ext4 partition and did a scan and started seeing duplicate media, which indicated plex can see everything on that ext4 partition. I removed the ntfs location on the library and plex would still give me that error!

Finally, I added a test library with zAnime and pointed it to the ext4 partition and plex was able to add it and even play the media off of it which makes me think this is a bug of some sorts.

I’m building new libraries since either way I don’t have any watched statistics anymore.

Attached are my debug logs.
