Try a hard link instead of symbolic, I have no issues whatsoever and I use ChuckPa’s DBRepair once a month or so. I’m on Ubuntu and use a hard link for my metadata and database directory and it’s stored on a completely separate drive in my system. My DB is barely over 1GB, 1.2 to be exact.
PhotoTranscoder directory
So I need to hardlink
/Users/bigdave/Library/Application\ Support/Plex\ Media\ Server
to
/Volumes/WD\ Elements/System/Plex\ Media\ Server
Not sure what command you’re using but ln seems to only work with files.
Not much to add other than we have an internal issue for tracking this problem. It’s being investigated.
Any news?
Any news?
Get a bigger root drive if you’re so sick of it. You could’ve solved this problem yourself a long time ago.
If you’re on Linux
ln -s /pathtofolder/Plex\ Media\ Server /pathtodestination/ (make sure there's no Plex Media Server folder in here)
or just ln for hard link.
We will be addressing this in the next upcoming release. Which should be soon
