Thanks

just wanted to drop a high-five for your gist here. my plex media server VM was undersized for my combined library and i was getting the label on the vdisk right but the lvm piece was eluding my understanding until i got here.

now i have setup a filesystem cache for media via nfs to a filesystem on an ssd and enough disk space for metadata and previews so my kids will stop groaning that i'm rebooting the plex server and they say THANK YOU too <4
