Also I just saw the tag. How is this still on 7.2? It should have upgraded to 7.3 in December or so.

Right but I can't unmount what isn't mounted and I can't delete it if it's in use

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.top shows 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?

checked /var/log to see if there was an entry. Does not seem like it.

I'm guessing you have a process running that you need. Use netstat

@scottalanmiller This is a long list
