Logs full; Plex causing havoc

[Vonslappy]

Hi everyone.

I had to do a bunch of work to resolve some physical damage to my server (i dropped it. Butterfingers), and while i now have it back up and running, I'm starting to see some crazy.

 

1. /var/log is at 100 percent after trying to clean up appdata for unused dockers

2. every time I touch the old plex appdata directory, dockers croak, and things start going read-only.

 

I suspect the log capacity is directly related to the plex issue, but I can't seem to resolve that one. As soon as I try to drop the plex directories, they come back and everything hangs.

 

Any thoughts? What have I wrecked this time?

 

Thanks for your help. Diags pre-reboot attached.

You shouldn't be trying to delete appdata with dockers running.

Makes sense. I disabled docker, and ran the appdata cleanup plugin. All reported well. After reboot:  all deleted appdata files are  back.

 

New diags attached.

 

Thanks for your assistance.

Sorry, thought I had replied to this already.

 

Any container set to autostart will run automatically on reboot, and create appdata if it doesn't already exist.
