Protection against array / drive disconnection
I've been looking for something like this for years as remembering to manually empty trash is a pain (usually when something won't play because I forgot to do it) so this is great thanks and seems to be ticking along right now (I used the CRON variable to increase the frequency). I just wondered if there's any protection built in (or if not whether it is possible to add it) for a situation where the RAID array (or drive) hosting the media goes down unexpectedly for any reason. Would plex-auto-trash keep running and essentially nuke the library? I think I remember seeing that even with auto-empty on in the Plex server settings it won't do it if the library path isn't available. Does this mean I'm safe even with plex-auto-trash? If not is it possible to add some sort of check before running the empty that will prevent it if the library path is unavailable? Sorry if I haven't explained it well or used the correct terminology. Thanks.
This is not currently implemented but it could be optionally added.
Thanks for the reply, that's great to hear that this is a possibility. Would love to have that protection as an option. > This is not currently implemented but it could be optionally added.
