If a newer version is found it can either be downloaded and held for admin approval or automatically installed to the server. To address this I have made a script that can be copied into a running Plex Media Server plug-in, and without needing anything else installed it can search the download site using paid PlexPass credentials and check for newer versions. But the available Plex Media Server plug-in is only as recent as the latest publicly available release. I tried updating from 9.10 to 11 today and when it booted back up, Plex, Sab, and Couchpotato all failed to start. TrueNAS (previously FreeNAS) has a plug-in architecture that makes running Plex Media Server on TrueNAS (previously FreeNAS) trivialy easy. Plex is an amazing media server/client platform that can organize and stream those same media libraries. Plugins like Plex Media Server, NextCloud, Crashplan, and Zoneminder, help stream media, share files, automate backup, and even control surveillance cameras. Yesterday I saw an alert for a new Plex version, but for the first time I got errors running the update: rootplexmediaserver1:/. More than one drive is shown when a mirror has been used. In the FreeNAS GUI, use System Boot to identify the boot drives. Most RAID adapters will build a logical ‘container’ or ‘virtual disk’ of sorts that is exposed to the OS, and will not allow direct access to the disks.

If unsure about which drives contain the FreeNAS operating system, reboot and remove the install media. The PERC H200 may be functional with the Dell firmware, but one of the key requirements for FreeNAS is to have a non-RAID HBA that allows FreeNAS direct access to the attached drives.

TrueNAS (previously FreeNAS) is an excellent open-source network attached storage project based on FreeBSD that is very capable of storing even the largest media libraries Choosing the wrong drives to upgrade or install will cause loss of data. Thanks to at the FreeNAS/ TrueNAS forums for all the help provided.
