Hmm yes I do have allot of things running on the server! But I did manage to get individual Sleep of drives working by having separate UAD for download and other things (There is a nice FAQ about this setup in the forum) - and things I don't want to have on the array And yes I have allot of apps running 24/7 I think the cache is the problem! Plex and all appdata is located on the CACHE drive NVME drive and its the same drive that is used as cache creating the high I/O? So I cant use Plex %CPU because everything is on my cache drive - But I still experience "slow" playback from Plex at strange hours because the other disk is in sleep state - I would need to find another trigger, to bad you cant set Plex user web activity = Spin-up 🙂

Version 0.8 did something with the srt files it keeps adding srt files forever - without any TV show clip, maybee the size is under the limit?

Hi mgutt Just wanted to let you know that I just tried your script, and I think its working 100% Logfile: Preload /mnt/user/movies/Movies/Friends with Kids (2012)/Friends with Kids (2012) [Bluray.720p.x264.8Bit.DTS.5.1].mkv (6.835s) Preload /mnt/user/movies/Movies/Transylvania 6-5000 (1985)/Transylvania 6-5000 (1985) [Bluray.720p.x264.8Bit.DTS.2.0].mkv (0.337s) Script Starting Oct 21, 2020 20:20.51 Full logs for this script are available at /tmp/user.scripts/tmpScripts/Plex Preloader v0.7/log.txt Script Finished Oct 21, 2020 20:20.51 Update: Did a test added "TV Shows" and I could see srt files being loaded (Running Unraid 6.8.3) So how to get 1TB of memory!!! LOL Great work, you have really made a big impact on my Plex server!

I use the Plex inc Docker moved away from the other ones, maybe it's different? Had it running across all tree trying to catch it

I can't see what it is, hope you can :-)

So I did run both script at the same time: But below I don't see the CPU go above 1% Not a single time! This is really strange

You got me thinking about the missing DB backup of the Plex Appdata folder being very large on the NVme So I wanted to use your incremental backup script, but I am not sure if I need to remove the cache in the path and also not sure if this supports UAD for drives. I am trying to create the backup on a drive not the Array Like this: # settings user_share="/appdata/plex" backup_share="/mnt/disks/Drive1/backup" days=14 # preserve backups of the last X days months=12 # preserve backups of the first day of the last X month years=3 # preserve backups of the first january of the last X years fails=3 # preserve the recent X failed backups ..... But cache path fails (Got it working with normal path) Update this will create a backup on my UAD disk with path: \Drive1\backup\appdata\plex\.20201021_144056 But I am having a little problem using the cache path, I tried to replace all the /mnt/user/ in the script but keep getting errors Is it better just to use the /mnt/user and not the cache direct for the script to work? (You got me using /cache/ every now! 🙂 )

Hi @mgutt This is another great idea you have! I think mostly my drives doesn't spin down before evening, but I have had complains late at night that the stream did not start - and then you had to press play again? (Spin-up) (Not the end of the world but if I can fix it...then why not ) So running this on Plex I get these spikes? I checked and I have no TV-recording, no playback, and no scanning of library What do you think could be causing these spikes? Highest value was 45.97 From Plex

Thanks for all this information I have to read more to grasp it all Not sure how you write directly to cache from a windows PC... (For Nextcloud I just added the path as cache to the docker temp folder) If I go to my \\IP\cache\temp I can't connect to it - do you have to modify the SMB config in order to make your cache drive directly accessible?

Sorry for the delay replying you! I found that no matter what path I write in Emby it will create a subdir in the tmp/ram dir as "transcoding-temp" I deleted this and used your script to create a EmbyRamScratch that it can create the "transcoding-temp" under So far no problems after this change! works great! Thanks I also added this to my docker setting running Krusader looks ok now! Sorry I have updated my "warning" in the topic for tweaks that I created - The changes have made the biggest speed improvement to my setup so far! No the docker.img have just always been on the cache (Just not used the cache in the path, only the prefer on cache setting before) Sure thing this really utilize the NVMe (Only drawback is that I had to upgrade it to a Samsung MZ-V7S2T0BW 970 Evo Plus [2 TB] $$$ and my limit in PCIe slots I can only have 1 NVMe) Done! and thanks! As stated before Emby creates a "transcoding-temp" dir (Must be hardcoded) but I have pointed that to the new "EmbyRamScratch/trancoding-temp/" No only one NVMe and so far this is okay. I have around 8-900G for cache a day and rest for VM/Docker/Appdata/docker.img Yes I have the excellent community tools that creates backup of the VM's/Appdata/docker.img I have excluded the 800G Plex appdata folder, have a old yearly backup - and worst case is just that it needs to do a rescan of the library Again thanks for all your help! much appreciated! 🙏 BTW: I have created a local shared temp that I have as prefer on cache. So if I want to have something permanently on the cache drive I can put it there also used for special files on NeXTcloud that requires fast access and transfer speeds 🙂Would it also be good to change path to /cache/ here?

Can I just delete this? No idea where its from? Deleting these old transcode folders (Shouldnt they be delete automatically?) Update looks like this is from Emby: After deleting this folder, and pointing EMBY transcode to the same "PlexRamscratch" I now get: du -sh /tmp 183M /tmp And my memory is now: down to normal JAHUU! I don't know enough about this, but isn't memory temporary and turning your PC of should flush the tmp right?

Docker: Plex: I didn't think I needed to change this to cache, but I guess that would be best since I have all 800G in my cache NVMe So I will change this now: (I just changed this for Emby also, using the same transcoding dir in RAM)

I went back and enabled the cache path for the docker.img :-) Only activity I can see is Plex scanning libraries - no transcoding So the CPU could be indexing and preview thumbnails? But memory is back to 99%-100% du -sh /tmp 20G /tmp df -h -t tmpfs Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on tmpfs 32M 632K 32M 2% /run tmpfs 32G 8.0K 32G 1% /dev/shm cgroup_root 8.0M 0 8.0M 0%

I have created the script in the "User Scripts" and updated the path (Thanks!) its working Only thing I can't figure out is if I have to enable schedule for this script here? UPDATE: Excellent guide thanks all is running now!

I used this guide when I first created my Plex server to use my RAM for transcoding: Guess things have evolved since then UPDATE: Did the script and its working One question should I schedule this to run in the User Scripts?

last 5 is the VM's with a total of 30 Gigs is there anything else above docker weise that stands out? (I was surprised that Emby uses so much and that Plex have so many different processes)

Thanks! much appreciated! - I will try this next time I try the "cache" path again. (Yes I transcode to RAM but this was not the issue! - I had no trancodes and I even tried stopping PLEX)

I can just say that changing it back from cache to user my memory dropped and I have rebooted my servers more than 10 times and this is the only change? Could it be because I have a plex appdata that is near 800G?

UPDATE: This works! - My high memory usage was related to the encoding to RAM and thanks to @mgutt this is not a problem anymore! Actually I have never seen such speed scrolling through covers like I have now, both for Plex and Emby (I will make a post about this just to share my experience running both Emby and Plex in this thread soon) Again! thank you so much @mgutt your tweak really helped me allot - And also the trouble shooting here:

UPDATE Found the problem - I can now run all the VM I have without getting above error after changing this back to "normal" This was caused by changing the docker to cache instead of user. This used a lot of memory:

Yes I Agree, but having: My VM's 2 x Windows 10 = 3072 + 6144 MB = 9G 1 x pfSense = 3072 MB = 3G 1 x Hassio = 2048 MB = 2G 1 x Xpenology = 16384 MB = 16G (I found that I need to keep allocation = The orig. HW) A Total of: 30G - out of a total of 64G? I can't even start the last WIN 10 with 3G now without getting the : Shouldn't this be possible and then letting the host to use the last 34 Gigs ? What is the recommended memory value for a windows 10 for office work?

Yes but something is using more RAM than before never got this before?

Hi All I have 64 Gigs of RAM (Useable 62.8 GiB) I have multiple Dockers (Not been a issue before adding new VM's) My VM's 2 x Windows 10 = 6144 MB = 12G 1 x pfSense = 3072 MB = 3G 1 x Hassio = 2048 MB = 2G 1 x Xpenology = 8192 MB = 8G Total: 25G Docker 38% of 62.8G = 24G Left = 13G The Load: TOP: Do I just need more RAM? (This system have a max of 64G 😞 ) Any tips to where I can cut memory usage? I got the CPU usage down by selecting different cores for each system As always your insight and expertise is much appreciated!

Hi thanks for the Tips! I have always had both Docker and Appdata on the same Nvme and because of the size I had to upgrade to a 2TB 😞 I just can't see any difference in the loading time of the posters etc... Between the above and the default This could be because I always had everything on the NVme? Is there any down size of keeping the changes using cache path?

Finally got the update working also on the 3617x - You need to run this script in order to do the latest DSM updates: https://xpenology.com/forum/topic/28183-running-623-on-esxi-synoboot-is-broken-fix-available/ However, if Jun's script is re-run after the system is fully started, everything is as it should be. So extracting the script from the loader, and adding it to post-boot actions appears to be a solution to this problem: Download the attached FixSynoboot.sh script (if you cannot see it attached to this post, be sure you are logged in) Copy the file to /usr/local/etc/rc.d chmod 0755 /usr/local/etc/rc.d/FixSynoboot.sh Thus, Jun's own code will re-run after the initial boot after whatever system initialization parameters that break the first run of the script no longer apply. This solution works with either 1.03b or 1.04b and is simple to install. This should be considered required for a virtual system running 6.2.3, and it won't hurt anything if installed or ported to another environment. 1) Check file is in temp dir ls /volume1/Temp/FixSynoboot.sh sudo -i cp /volume1/Temp/FixSynoboot.sh /usr/local/etc/rc.d chmod 0755 /usr/local/etc/rc.d/FixSynoboot.sh ls -la /usr/local/etc/rc.d/FixSynoboot.sh -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2184 May 18 17:54 FixSynoboot.sh Ensure the file configuration is correct, reboot the nas and FixSynoboot will be enabled. That's it I am now running: I even did a test running the new migration tool, migrating all 8-9TB and all apps and configuration from my own Synology 3617 Just wanted to try to see if I could create a full running backup on my Unraid server Sofar only thing that doesn't seem to work is my But again not sure I want to run virtual machines on a virtual NAS LOL! But anyway if someone knows how to fix this it could be fun to do a benchmark
