Hello,
I currently have PMS running on a CentOS 7 VM in ESXi. I would like to move the application support directory to my Windows server. I have the network drive mounted to /mnt/win
and my fstab entry looks like this:
//192.168.1.10/d$ /mnt/win cifs user,uid=plex,rw,suid,username=*****,password=************ 0 0
I changed the default location in /lib/systemd/system/plexmediaserver.service
to look like this:
Environment="PLEX_MEDIA_SERVER_APPLICATION_SUPPORT_DIR=/mnt/win/Application\ Data/Plex\ Media\ Server"
After changing the default application support dir, PMS will not start, giving me this systemctl status:
[root@media system]# systemctl status plexmediaserver.service -l
plexmediaserver.service - Plex Media Server for Linux

I'm pretty sure it's some kind of permissions issue, but I can't figure it out. Any help would be appreciated.
