Mapping Files from One Trienas Server to anothe TrueNAS Sever

TrueNAS General
1

I hvae just created a secind TrueNas server and was hoping that i could have data one both servers but linked to single Instance of Plex on the original server.
Is this possible?

Not via UI or any supported method.

You could probably use a post init task to mount a share from one server on the other one.

Thanks. But wow… you would think that this would be a common setup…

4

There is no NAS/share client function in TrueNAS anywhere. It works strictly as a file/block storage server.

5

how about "the other"option of OS platform?

6

What do you mean? Both TrueNAS CORE and SCALE have no function to mount anything from another server.

Not sure if what you want but I think you can do something similar.

First Approach

Why not create a replication task to sync every 5 seconds between both servers? It’s bizarre but you could have the same data on both servers and then Plex could access the data in the Plex’s server.

Second Approach

Create an NFS share on the original server and set it on the second server. Mount the share and point Plex to that share. This way you can store it on the second server and Plex, on the original server.
