I'm also assuming this is running on a XenServer since the disks are xvda and xvdb.
Correct

Ya while it's not a great idea IMO to put all of the data on the root file system (and span two disks like that), you can just create a home directory for your user and continue on. Just remove the mount line in fstab.

Aren't we looking at the raw devices,before LVM? How are the underlying devices showing up as 3.9TB when they are limited to 2TB. Those are the "physical" partitions on the VHDs.

It looks like a volume group spanned over two VHDs. XebServer has a 2TB limit for disks so he spanned the volume over two disks to get 4TB.

@scottalanmiller Isn't this a combination of xvda2 and xvdb?

Yeah, I get that. But shouldn't lsblk show us the underlying devices before the span?

Is lsblk taking the LVM data and applying it from the upper level?

It does. But you can see /dev/mapper/plex-root is where 3.9TB is. xvda and xvdb only have 2 TB.

Gotcha, okay.

So now the question is how to properly set up a home directory from scratch. Doesn't seem like I can just
mkdirit -

You might just be able to log in as your normal user and it will do it automatically. If not just create a directory with your username under /home and chown it to your ID. Don't forget SELinux labels.

Interesting. if I
mkdir /homeit says file exists. Icdinto it and there is nothing there. -
It should. That's where it mounted the volume before. It can't mount it there if there isn't a mount point.
-
Right but I can't unmount what isn't mounted and I can't delete it if it's in use
-
Also I just saw the tag. How is this still on 7.2? It should have upgraded to 7.3 in December or so.

@stacksofplates I've been reading a lot

You don't want to delete /home. Just create a directory for your user in it. If it won't let you, you can lazy unmount with umount -l

I'm just testing all of this stuff as root although i know in production that would not be the case

So I can log in with no errors seemingly now.I can access my VM \\<IP ADDRESS> and then browse the media contained with in no problem. Typically you access plex via http://localhost:32400/web but that refuses to work.
topshows the plex services running and I restarted them. No change. My roku can connect to plex's relay service, but can't directly connect to the server--which from my perspective is really weird. How can you access media remotely but not locally unintentionally?
