server fails to start

[andyreno 0]

My root partition where emby-server was installed grew to the point where I must relocate some apps.  With rsync I have migrated /var/lib/emby to another disk and created a link to the new folder at /var/lib/emby but the server still fails to start with an 'out of space' message:

command: systemctl status emby-server
result:

I have kept the original installation. Should I remove it? Shouldn't I be able to start the server at the new location given it has plenty of disk space available?

Maybe this part won't work? Was it a link before?
