Hello. I'd like to know if there is a way to relocate media index (.BIF) files from Plex's application directory to a custom path somewhere else.
I'm currently indexing my entire library and the total number of .BIF files Plex has generated has topped 4GB thus far... Considering how many items have been indexed, I'm guessing I'll eventually have about ~30GB worth of BIFs. :blink:
The default directory containing these media index files ( /var/lib/plexmediaserver/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Media/localhost ) is located on my file server's 16GB root drive. Obviously, I'm about to run out of space and really quick -- so I'm hoping there's a way to do this.
I'm running PMS 0.9.8.4 on Ubuntu 12.04. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
