I have a plex jail running on my FreeNAS Mini XL running FreeNAS-11.1-U6.
When I restart the hardware (after an operating system upgrade, etc.), the plex server is unable to find the media that I had previously uploaded.
When I restart the plex jail, without restarting the hardware, the plex server is able to find the media that I have previously uploaded.
I lack FreeNAS skills and have been unable to diagnose the problem. The workaround (restart the plex jail once after each hardware restart) is easy and simple. I would like to understand why the problem occurs and how to resolve it. It is not a rush to understand it, but I would like to understand it.

When the plex server is not able to find the media, the output of
In the failing case, there is an extra mount point pool-a/jails/plexmediaserver_1/plex-media. Could that be hiding the real data behind that incorrect mount point?
Where should I look to find the definition of that mount point so that I can try removing the mount point?
Are there other things I should check?
