Sheesh…took me way too long to swap out my 5 TB drive for the new 10 TB drive on my #PLEX server, and get everything to show up in the library and play from the new drive.
I wish I’d known about gnome-drives before I started, what I SHOULD have done was plug in the new drive, go into gnome-drives and disable the automount for the old drive, set the new drive to automount to the same location, and reboot.
But hey, ya live and ya learn.

@realcaseyrollins Sounds like you need linux in your life :)
@realcaseyrollins ahh in that case you probably just need to learn the right tools. There are like a 1000 ways you can do a drive, and the right approach makes your life much easier... but even the janky ways are easier.
what was the issue maybe I can help with future suggestions.
@realcaseyrollins with linux all you should have had to do was bring up the new drive then rsync files.
@realcaseyrollins A tool similar to cp but far more effecient and robust. It allows you sync the files between directories in a way that is aware of some nuance like symlinks, dates (prevents recopying) and mount points.
@freemo Oh I’m running it, and I think that’s technically why the setup is so janky 😂 either that or I’m just too used to #Windows
