Unable to start Plex plugin, even after install 11.2-U3.

[TechTrash Rigs]

I am unable to start plex plugin or plex jail after installing 11.2-U3. I am still having a problem with the spaces from Plex Media Server. I tried entering the destination manually from the GUI \040 but that just creates a new directory with the name Plex\040Media\040Server in the jail.

Mount point source: /mnt/olympus/dionysus
Mount point destination: /mnt/olympus/iocage/jails/plex/root/Plex Media Server/FreeNAS

I receive the following runtime error when starting plex jail: jail: mount.fstab: /mnt/olympus/iocage/jails/plex/root/Plex: No such file or directory

Code:

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

Remove the fstab from your jail. Restart the jail (it should run without the broken fstab), then recreate the fstab while the jail is running using relative paths starting at the jail root rather than the absolute path from the FreeNAS root to describe the target location.

Weird, I got a different error. It was 5 am so I did not copy/write it down. Will have to mess it at a later day.

I forwent the instructions from FreeNASTeam - FreeNAS 11.2 - Plex Media Server Plugin youtube video.
I made mount point /mnt/olympus/dionysus /mnt/olympus/iocage/jails/plex/root/media instead of
/mnt/olympus/iocage/jails/plex/root/Plex Media Server/FreeNAS.
Plex is working well.

OK, now I see where the problem was... you could have enclosed the path in quotes like this "/mnt/olympus/iocage/jails/plex/root/Plex Media Server/FreeNAS" or escaped the spaces like this /mnt/olympus/iocage/jails/plex/root/Plex\ Media\ Server/FreeNAS

Good to see you got it worked out in any case.

It's not working for me... when I make the mount point "media" instead of "Plex Media Server/FreeNAS", I then get a completely different "VNET Failure" error. Enclosing the path in quotes and trying the other option suggested by stretalla also do not work. Any ideas?

when I make the mount point "media" instead of "Plex Media Server/FreeNAS", I then get a completely different "VNET Failure" error.

A VNET failure is not related to fstab/mount problems.

You will need to show some more information like what version of FreeNAS, your jail configuration (iocage get all plex) and ifconfig on the host and in the jail (if it starts) for us to work it out.

Thanks-- I'll see if I can figure out how to do that. I just installed FreeNAS for the first time yesterday, so I'm totally new to it. Also, it's the latest version, freshly DL'd yesterday afternoon.
