The disks in question haven't spun down in the last 21 hours.

I have the same exact behavior as you have stated in this thread. Will be cool to find the solution.

Yeah, this is definitely not my issue. I have been using /dev/shm from the beginning.

 

 

3 Day uptime so far, I have added SWAG back in and tomorrow I will start up hass and MQTT and see what happens.

/tmp was just a secondary issue I found that I thought was working perfectly before, at least when I set it up and verified it at the time

 

Wiping my cache Is what stopped my crashing as far as I can tell, I didn't have to shut down dockers or anything else. Sorry if that wasn't clear

[6.9.0 Random Crashes/Restarts Since Upgrading]

Want to start off with, I am a APE level with Unraid so take it or leave it, tell me I'm wrong ill tell you your write

 

My server was unraveling every 3 to 10 hours, I dug around here on the forum and collected a few thoughts. 

 

1. Cache Pool was new - I think?

2. I was rock solid on 6.8.0 for as long as it was out - Probably 1 million days uptime give or take

3. Someone somewhere was talking about having a corrupted cache after the update 

 

I decided to do a cache drive backup,

 

then put the array in maintenance and do the old "Check Filesystem Status" which came up clean and said "Good to go buddy just send it!"

 

then wiped it out and formatted it to XFS  (have a 970 Evo Plus 2TB and dont care about pooling)

 

Server has been up and running no problem since, 2+ days with one restart for fun

 

I set up a bunch of plex streams to run overnight on repeat. When I woke up in the AM, I had a few streams drop out, and had alerts that my docker image was nearing full, then back to normal, then back to full again

 

WTF mate???

 

I then started a few more streams, and noticed my docker image was again growing. I looked at where I had my docker pointed and there were no transcode files...Plex should be using /tmp/PlexRamScratch - which I make each time the array is started

 

WTF mate??? This APE thought that /tmp was ram, maybe its not? smooth brain, but it definitely was not going where I wanted 

 

anyway, This nerd on another forum said to use /dev/shm and Boom goes the dynamite - Plex is no longer squatting in my docker img and is filling up ram real nice

 

 

 

❤️ You bye

Also having daily crashes - majority of my dockers die as they lose access to shares, which are disappearing

[[Plugin] Linuxserver.io - Unraid Nvidia]

I just followed what's in here to first enable the NVIDIA card on my Unraid server, then to enable access to the GPU on my PLEX docker, then I followed the instructions over at PLEX forum to create a workaround to enable the NVDEC. (see this link : Instructions for the script

 

It's only 2 lines of codes you put in a new file called "/usr/lib/plexmediaser/Plex Transcoder".

 

Step 1.  Go inside the docker PLEX terminal, to /usr/lib/plexmediaserver/.

Step 2.  Rename the file "Plex Transcoder" to "Plex Transcoder2"

Step 3.  Create a script called "Plex Transcoder" (I use nano editor, apt-get update, apt-get install nano, yes to all questions), and put this code in it :

 

#!/bin/sh

/usr/lib/plexmediaserver/Plex\ Transcoder2 -hwaccel nvdec "$@"

 

This will tell call the Plex Transcoder and enable the decode part.  Since it's a workaround, it won't show it Tautulli or in Plex Dashboard because plex doesn't know it decode hardware.  You can see it working by running this command from the same Terminal inside plex docker:

 

nvidia-smi dmon -s u

 

There is column for enc. and one for dec., if it's not 0, it means it's working.

 

Just wanted to let you know I was successful also! but I had to adjust the permissions on the new "Plex Transcoder"  folder to get mine to go. It stumped me for a bit!

 

GPU is a P2000

docker is linuxserver

 

 

Thank you for this!!!!!! So cool, much wow!
