Symbolic Links for Sync+

HI Guys

As always appreciate your support, plex is installed in a home directory with limited space.

So as I have done before I created symbolic link for Sync+

So I did this command

ln -s /var/lib/plexmediaserver/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Cache/Transcode/Sync+ /allstorage/media/plex/Sync+

with var/lib… being the plex installed directory and /allstorage…being my attached storage

however I am still the server’s disk is almost full error when trying to sync.

In the directory /allstorage/media/plex/Sync+

I can see the symbolic link listed as shortcuts the following

Application
Media
Plex
Sync+

can anyone let me know what I have done wrong please?

many thanks in advance

Bill

I made one change which seemed to help

i changed the command to the following

ln -s /var/lib/plexmediaserver/Library/Application\ Support/Plex\ Media\ Server/Cache/Transcode/Sync+ allstorage/media/plex/Sync+

this has now created a link correctly in the folder I only see Sync+ in the directory

allstorage/media/plex/

but i still see the error

Please remember.

ln -s  /path/to/where/it/is    /path/to/where/you/want/the/name/placed

Looks like your symlink is backwards.

You want it to be out on the bigger space but to place the Sync+ name in /var/lib/plexmediaserver
