Put a data/cache directory on the main drive #6

Right now, the installer completely wipes the NVME drive's partition table. What if it kept the existing partitions (as long as they exist and match the desired state) and had a partition for cache data it left alone? The idea being to use it for Jellyfin (or Plex) data like cover images so it doesn't have to redownload everything after a reinstall.

Or could that stuff go in ZFS? Does it need NVME speed?

This may be obviated by using TinyMediaManager. It scrapes data and art about the video file and puts everything into some local .jpgs and a .nfo pointing at them. Then everything(?) Jellyfin would need to fetch is local on the data drive.

Only down side is that now a single video's directory contains up to a half dozen files but... ehhh...
