Where is the Plex jail (and all the metadata) installed?

Is it on my disk arrays or on the thumb drive where the OS is installed on? I'm asking because I want to delete my pool and rebuild it with larger disk drives. But I'm been trying to figure out how to maintain all my Plex metadata for when I put my media back onto the new pool.

This can depend on which version of FreeNAS you're using.
If you're using 11.2 and using iocage to manage your jails it will be on whatever pool you activated iocage on. Assuming iocage is activated and that your jail is named plex, it will be in /mnt/iocage/jails/plex/root/usr/local/plexdata/

If your jail is named differently change the plex between jails and root to reflect your jail name.

Sorry I should have posted my system details. Yes I'm on 11.2 and it does look like the jails are kept on the same pool where all my media is kept on. So I do need to make sure I back up my Plex data before disconnecting that pool. :confused:
