No, it stores it in the directory you choose when installing, same as normal install. And i chose the same as standard, so c:\program data\jellyfin\server\log
I know because when i run the service with a admin account it can start so i can see the log activity.
I reinstalled the app normally again, and its the same result.
Another issue i discovered is that the old library database does not work anymore. It uses it, but nothing shows up as working library. I find the folders in the settings for library, but not when using the client. And if i check for changes on library, everything that is available inside my server(aside from the rar2fs folders) is recreated/parsed as a new library. As if the folders was moved or something. But they werent.

I tried uninstalling server and installing the former version i had working(i think it was this one) v 10.10.3
It just never finished this "optimization" of the db.

It looks the same. If i don't run it in admin mode, i get that SQL error and the message about optimization that never finishes.
If run in admin mode it starts but does'nt get access to the rar2fs folders.

Perhaps you need to recursively change the permissions on Jellyfin's app data folder so the non-admin user can fully access the file.

You mean changing the file permission in the data folder?
I will have a look at it again. I remember seeing all the files as ready-only last i checked it. It looked weird. But last i checked i couldnt change all the permission properties of the folders and subfolders, files.

Yes. It is the only thing that makes sense at this point.

Similar to this issue here, i also get the same type of event viewer log error, when running server app as non-admin:

Right now i am trying to move all Jellyfin data from programdata and program files to another drive, and back again, to see if it fixes the messed up permissions itself.

Issue solved!
The permission and ownership issue was the culprit to this problem.
By resetting the ownership and permission to the same as normal folders in windows i was able to run the server app in normal mode, and it now have access to all the rar2FS drives.

Same issue persists (SQLLite just as others are reporting) using standard NTFS large volume drives Windows 10 22H2 with current updates when moving from 10.11.0RC5 to 10.11.0RC6. Rolling back to 10.11.0RC5 resolves the problem. From what I saw on GitHub, simlar occurred on Linux Ubuntu and was addressed earlier today. In my case, I had some of JellyFin Server installed to C:\ and some installed to D:\ (I had told it D:\ a long time ago, but the installer split it for some reason and it's stayed that way since). However, it never generated anything under C:\ProgramData at any point in the past or currently. Perhaps RC6 stable isn't as stable/ready-to-bake as hoped?
