Synology: DSM 7 Installation Archive -- Archived from main thread

I haven’t given it any privileges to the Plex share yet. So Im guessing migration may not have even started?

That’s what this is starting to look like… I agree

That being where we’re at:

1. Uninstall the current DSM 7 package with the ERASE (red) option
   – this will purge the current (junk) installation in the PlexMediaServer directory

2. BEFORE installing the package again, make certain we give System Internal User “PlexMediaServer” Full Controll (important) of everything in the Plex shared folder.

Here’s the FAQ about manual migration

Synology FAQ - Questions, Answers, and a few How-To's

FAQ 27 - Migrating an existing PMS from DSM 6 to DSM 7 Upgrading PMS from DSM 6 → DSM 7 DSM 7 no longer allows us to go find the metadata directory and use it across volumes before starting PMS (This is the lack of “root” privilege blocking). As such we require the following two conditions are met we will attempt to automatically migrate you; You have an existing DSM 6-created PMS installation and PMS is installed on the SAME STORAGE VOLUME as the “Plex” shared folder (this is critical) …

You want Scenario 2

Of critical importance is the “Apply to this folder, sub-folders, and files” checkbox when you grant PlexMediaServer FULL CONTROL of the shared folder.

Let me know if you have questions.
