February 4, 20242 yr I've been putting off posting this and have just reset the server a couple of times. Now I'm ready for some constructive ideas on how I can solve this. This server is only being used as an Emby Server and works wonderfully. Thanks everyone. embyserver-diagnostics-20240204-0720.zip
February 4, 20242 yr If you run the command du -h /var/log it might give a clue as to what is taking up the space.
February 4, 20242 yr Author I don't know what the actual available capacity is so I don't know if 109M is a problem. root@EmbyServer:~# du -h /var/log 0 /var/log/pwfail 0 /var/log/swtpm/libvirt/qemu 0 /var/log/swtpm/libvirt 0 /var/log/swtpm 0 /var/log/samba/cores/rpcd_winreg 0 /var/log/samba/cores/rpcd_classic 0 /var/log/samba/cores/rpcd_lsad 0 /var/log/samba/cores/samba-dcerpcd 0 /var/log/samba/cores/winbindd 0 /var/log/samba/cores/nmbd 0 /var/log/samba/cores/smbd 0 /var/log/samba/cores 640K /var/log/samba 0 /var/log/sa 0 /var/log/plugins 0 /var/log/pkgtools/removed_uninstall_scripts 0 /var/log/pkgtools/removed_scripts 4.0K /var/log/pkgtools/removed_packages 4.0K /var/log/pkgtools 48M /var/log/nginx 0 /var/log/nfsd 0 /var/log/libvirt/qemu 0 /var/log/libvirt/ch 0 /var/log/libvirt 109M /var/log
February 4, 20242 yr There is 48MB being used for nginx logs which is excessive. Maybe also worth running ls -l /var/log As it looks like there is a lot of space being used that is not in a sub-folder. Normally the space for logs is set to 128MB which is more than enough in normal use.
February 4, 20242 yr Author Do I need another command line switch to get deeper details? btmp cron debug dhcplog dmesg docker.log faillog lastlog libvirt/ maillog mcelog messages nfsd/ nginx/ packages@ pkgtools/ plugins/ pwfail/ removed_packages@ removed_scripts@ removed_uninstall_scripts@ sa/ samba/ scripts@ secure setup@ spooler swtpm/ syslog syslog.1 syslog.2 vfio-pci vfio-pci-errors wtmp
February 4, 20242 yr Does not look like you used the -l option as that should have shown more detail about each entry.

February 5, 20242 yr Author I'm still a neophyte on Unraid. Is there an app or pluggin or standard part of the graphics interface that will allow me to see inside the syslog files?
February 9, 20242 yr Author It's interesting - I refrained from re-booting my Unraid Server so that I could maintain the information that might aid me at finding a cause. I notice that on the Dashboard, under the System section (which shows active bar graphs of memory usage) it showed that I was over 90% on Log. It stayed there for several days. Now it is showing only about 21% utilization. I'm not sure how that might relate to the '/var/log' directory, but now my /var/log only shows that it has 26M.
