OK. Data rebuild is ongoing. Pretty simple

So i plugged in the new PSU and the server started fine. no more buzzing sounds. Disk 2 is still disabled. The reads, writes and errors counts on the Main page now show 0 each which was not the case before. I attached a screenshot and the new logs. What would you recommend i do next? tower-diagnostics-20230104-1848.zip

Thanks JorgeB. I rechecked all cables including PSU and drives (unplugged, cleaned with a soft brush, re-plugged). This time, none of the disks of the array were discovered at startup! See picture and diagnostics files. The PSU does make a significant buzzing sound and the server itself makes buzzing sounds that cycle repeatedly every 1-2 seconds. So i rebooted the server again. this second time it did not come online at all (web interface not available)... i think i will order a new PSU and check again.

Hello and happy new year! i had to restart my server after a power failure at my home (the UPS did not seem to do its job but that another subject). Then i realized i had to manually start the array which typically starts automatically. When i did, i noticed one of my 2 data disks was disabled and the read check was paused at 0.0%. it sill is ~24 hours later. i am not sure what to do. After reading a few thread here, i tried to start an Extented SMART test on the disabled disk but i does not seem to start... i attached the diagnostics files. Does a disabled disk mean i have to replace it or can it be repaired? Thanks for your guidance. David tower-diagnostics-20230102-1259.zip

So i added more RAM last weekend to get from 4 to 8GB. It seemed fine at first but the same problem happened again. I guess it took longer because of the added memory. The webgui showed 100% CPU load and the dockers were not responding. Restarting Plex solved the issue (until next time...) i attached new logs downloaded after i noticed the issue and restarted Plex. If someone had any idea of what is going wrong, it would be really appreciated! tower-diagnostics-20190622-1930.zip

Plex's transcoder setting is /transcode. Are you sure i should change the Host Path to /mnt/cache/appdata/PlexMediaServer/tmp/? i do not have a cache drive (yet).

Hi, Here is what is have for the transcode directory: Container Path: /transcode Host Path: /mnt/user/appdata/PlexMediaServer/tmp/

Thank you trurl for the advice. i increased the docker image to 20GB. looking into buying the same memory as the one install to have 8GB (2*4GC dual channel) and adding a cache drive. Plex rarely transcodes the videos and if it does more often it is the audio track track only. When it does transcode the video, i have noticed that i get warning that the docker image is filling up (>90%). I read about transcoding to RAM but never looked into as i did not feel the need for it. i will let you know if the problem keeps occurring (so far so good but it has only been 2 days).

Hello all, for some time i have had issues with my server when all docker containers become unresponsive and the server webgui is slow (specifically the docker page and the docker section of the Dashboard). I believe the issue is caused by my plex docker. Regularly the webgui's dashboard shows 100% CPU and memory use. it typically last hours before it goes back to normal levels and all running dockers get accessible again (like the Logitech Media Server or Syncthing). SSH stills works and is usually how i stop or restart Plex. I have identified different scenarios depending on what dockers are running: - when Plex is the only docker running, the memory gets full at some point and i saw "oom" issues in the logs but docker kills and restart the plex container automatically. - when several containers are running, there are no mention of "oom" in the logs and it looks like docker is not restarting Plex. I have included a few diagnostic files downloaded after several occurrences of the problem hoping someone could point me towards the issue (is it really an out of memory issue?) and the fix. Thank you in advance! any help will be greatly appreciated as it is very frustrating to be in the middle of a movie when the docker containers become unresponsive and i have to connect and restart them to fix (temporarily) the issue David tower-diagnostics-20190603-2320.zip tower-diagnostics-20190529-1836.zip tower-diagnostics-20190525-2035.zip
