well im pretty sure all that worked! i just didn’t delete Library-old, in case i dunno that the world ends 
i just got 2 more questions.
in web browser http://127.0.0.1:8888/web or localhost:8888/web gave me an unable to connect error, but with :32400 it took me to the log in page server setup and asks me to give a name to the server and point to my media folder.
- i’m confused, shouldn’t i see my old windows server unavailable and my ‘old windows’ libraries instead of making a new server?
i think i have one last thing to do before i can update my libraries (once i get to see them again) Plex doesnt see my media folders. i found this guide you wrote Linux Tips - #2 by ChuckPa
and i believe thats what i need to do for plex to be able to see my HDDs.
basically, (i think) i took my 3 internal HDD and made one. all my media is on /dev/md0

- so am i right to think your ‘using other hard drives with PMS’ guide will make plex see my drives?
EDIT: i just realized my array of my 3 2TB drives are formatted as XFS. Can i still follow your guide with it or should I reformat it?
sh-4.2# blkid /dev/md0
/dev/md0: UUID="c959b441-08ff-4a80-adcf-6ee256c01ce9" TYPE="xfs"
i’m starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel thanks to your big help. i’m very grateful you are holding the lantern
