What you really want to determine is what path within the container is getting files written by Plex at that time, and map that to an external location. If it is not the /transcode path within the container then what is it? I also notice that the screenshot does not show the mapping for the plex config folder - where is that mapped to?
In terms is where to map a location for temporary files I would think that a pool is better than the array for performance reasons, and if you have lots of spare ram you might want to consider a RAM based location.
How would I find out what is being written and where? Any idea what set of logs? Also, I added a shot of the confit file for Plex above, is that the one you were referring to? Thank you

I use a ramdisk for transcoding. Prevents necessary wear and tear on the drives. Also responds quicker.
One thing you may want to check is to see if plex is scanning your media and creating thumbnail previews... Those can occupy a lot of space on a large library.
https://support.plex.tv/articles/202197528-video-preview-thumbnails/It just has chapter thumbnails, not the whole video, so I don't think that's it.

This one? /mnt/user/appdata/plex (image attached)

It may be because you have not mapped the /transcode folder within the Plex container to a location external to the docker image so any temporary file in /transcode are written inside the image.
Would this matter if nothing is being transcoded? These full docker messages come up at the same time 3 times a day even when not in use/watching anything.
On that same note, does it make sense map the transcode folder to my cache drive or to the array?

While my docker container is on the smaller side, 15GB, I have recently run into an issue of it getting full multiple times a day. These events happen at 12:23am, 10:19am, 12:28pm and they do not happen when I stop the Plex docker container. I believe this started when I enabled the Sonic feature for music in Plex. I have attached the paths I have in hopes that someone can tell me what I have set wrong, or where I need to look in order to fix this issue, maybe a path in the Plex docker itself? I posted about this before, but lacked adding some extra detail.
I get the alert emails:
Event: Docker high image disk utilization

Please help me set my paths

Anyone able to help me figure out what path is not mapped properly? Diagnostic file attached.
Thank you in advance for your assistance

Probably plex writing into an unmapped path.
So unmapped paths are stored in the docket instead of the array? Why would this just start all of a sudden? Hmm, actually I set up the audio imprint sonic thing fairly recently, maybe that’s it.

Screen shot attached. This keeps going back and forth between high usage and normal levels. Nothing is downloading, so I am unsure what I should be looking for or where. Thank you

This seems to be correct, so thank you for putting any of my concerns to rest. Thanks again.

Just looking for some information on the uses and support for a Bluray/DVD reader/burner. I have an LG WH14NS40. I saw the Make MKV app right off the bat and have used it on my desktop to rip all of my DVDs and Blurays for use in PLEX, but the drive doesn't fit in my new desktop. I am wondering if there is full support to read and move data from discs to UNRAID, and if it has the capability of burning to discs as well. Thanks.

I am replacing my parity with a larger drive after a different drive failed, and am putting the old parity into the array. I am currently around 78% into the process and at some point during the night, fix common problems gave the "error" disk6 (WDC_DRIVE SERIAL HERE) is disabled. Is this normal, or is there a real error? In the fix common problem app, it says "Begin Investigation Here" with a button that just goes to the unraid MAIN page. It appears the process is still moving forward, normal or not?
-
I removed the dGPU for now. I will need to look into deleting the boot config, but for now, I am happy it is up and running. Now to try rebuilding the parity.
-
It seems as though booting is hanging at the attached screenshot. This is a previously working unraid setup in a new computer. The only real difference in hardware is that this build has a LAN card and a dGPU. Other than BIOS settings of boot from USB and virtualization turned on, I’m unsure what else could be saved in it.

A different power supply is working. I find it odd since I tried all 4 power outputs on the other PSU and they all worked for the sata power cables but not the 4 pin molex.

No joy. Removed the cage and drives. I’m going to pull the GPU, LAN, perc h310 and see if that does anything.
Edit: doing those things didn’t fix it. It’s just power. Corsair HX650 modular power supply. Which has 4 outputs for either SATA or peripherals. I’ve tried two different cables to power the cage, and it does the same thing.
Should I try a different power supply?

Yes. Just power connected will keep it from booting.

When I plug my 3x4 Rosewill hotswap cage in to power, the machine "tries to boot" for about 1 second and then shuts down. When I unplug the power from it, the machine will turn on/get to the BIOS. I have tried it with and without the drives installed, and same non boot. I put the cage in a different computer and that computer booted up, so I don't think the issue is with the cage itself. Any thoughts on this? Thank you

That worked, the tape must have come off in the old machine and I didn't notice. That being said, now when I plug my 3x4 Rosewill hotswap cage in to power, the machine wont turn on. When I unplug the power from it, the machine will turn on. I have tried it with and without the drives installed, and same non boot. The fan turns for one second and then shuts off, and never goes to BIOS. Any thoughts on this? https://www.amazon.com/Rosewill-5-25-Inch-3-5-Inch-Hot-swap-SATAIII/dp/B00DGZ42SM?th=1

I have installed the card in a new computer but it wont boot to the BIOS when it is installed. The MOBO is a Gigabyte Z87X-OC with BIOS F6 running. https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GA-Z87X-OC-rev-1x/support#support-dl-bios If I remove the card, I can boot to the BIOS. The card was working in my previous machine, not that that means anything.
Any thoughts?

Thanks for the reply, my needs don’t require that grade hardware.

Nothing seems to work. Any thoughts on an inexpensive board that works with the sata expander card and will use the ddr3 memory I already have?

The only options are UEFI OpROM and Legacy OpRom, It was set to UEFI so I will try Legacy, but should there be a disable option somehow?

So, I am trying this on a different box with the same specs. Gigabyte G1 sniper M3 with the same updated BIOS, but when my H310 SAS9211-8i card is installed, it starts up for a few seconds, does not get to the BIOS, and then reboots. If I take the card out, it will boot to BIOS. I tried installing graphics card in the same PCIE slot, and the computer will boot to the BIOS. I am pretty sure the BIOS settings are the same as the other motherboard I was using, but is there something specific other than the AHCI and not RAID mode that I need to do? This seems quite odd since the card worked in the other MOBO that I was having different issues with.

I have tried multiple PSU on this, so it must be the board/USB/somethine elgse. Super frustrating since I really didn't want to buy new components. Any suggestions on a board for mostly PLEX, and I would like to set up paperless and calibre for some better management of file backup/storage/photos, 8 drives and about 30TB? I have a SAS9211-8i SATA/RAID card, for 8 drives so I don't really need that many SATA ports. I'd prefer to use the current RAM if possible, which is DDR3. If that doesn't seem realistic, What are some of the less expensive options for newer equipment? I back all of files and photos up to an external drive every few weeks and store it in a safe in case of fire, etc., I just like the redundancy since there are a lot of work files on it.
How to remove drive and not replace it?

I have a 3TB drive that has errors and unraid has taken offline and emulated the data. I have 15TB free over my other drives. What is the easiest way to just remove the drive and let unraid do its thing? Is there a "better way" than the easiest way, other than just replacing the drive?
Thank you
