Plex served 3.5 TB — 81% of its library — from a mount that existed in no shape. stacks/Media/plex.lxc.yaml declared only ds1813-nfs-volume-4; the legacy library reached CT 5008 through a hand-written line in the container's own /etc/fstab: 192.168.179.11:/volume3/Volume-3/data/media /mnt/media nfs ro 0 0 Converge could not see it, MountReconciler could not reconcile it, and validate could not catch it. Recreating CT 5008 would have come up healthy, passed every check, and served 821 GB of 4.3 TB — no error, just mostly-empty libraries. It also broke the root CLAUDE.md rule that NFS mounts are host-level, never mounted inside the guest (BL-016). This is not "the old fleet's storage". EVERY Plex library depends on it: Movies /mnt/media/Movies + /data/media/movies TV Shows /mnt/media/TV Shows + /data/media/tv Animes /mnt/media/Anime <- volume-3 ONLY, no volume-4 counterpart Youtube /data/youtube 903 of 1049 media_parts (86%) resolve under /mnt/media. Declared as mp2, appended LAST because mounts render positionally and inserting above would renumber the live mp0/mp1. target stays exactly /mnt/media: Plex stores absolute section paths, so changing it would silently empty three libraries. Kept ro — Plex reads it, the old arr fleet still writes it. The in-CT fstab line is replaced by a comment pointing at the shape (original saved as /etc/fstab.pre-329.bak), so there is one source of truth and nobody re-adds a second mount on the same target. Verified live, before and after a CT restart: - pct config 5008 -> mp2 added, mp0/mp1 unchanged (both still volume-4) - /mnt/media now provided by LXC host-level (clientaddr = the host), ro - library counts identical: Animes 463, Movies 91, TV Shows 532, Youtube 103 - 400/400 sampled volume-3 media files readable; writes correctly refused - plexmediaserver active, :32400 HTTP 200 locally and on 10.10.200.98 Found while surveying why 8 guests tagged `retired` still had live connections. Retiring volume-3 is a much larger decision — 3.2 TB of torrents and 470 seeding entries on CT 5007 also live there (#199).
