Help with odd logger reports since making small change to Plex Config

Featured Replies

Hi

 

I run Plex Media Server on my unRaid box using one of the plug ins. I had the problem with Plex shutting down every 24 hours and came across a post indicating that this is possibly linked to configuring the plugin to store library/temp files in hidden folders.

 

I therefore set up a cache-only share for plex and moved my library/temp files into it and reconfigured the plug-in to point to the new paths. This seems to have worked but has resulted in the following error being generated multiple times (as part of the mover process, I think);

 

Jan 24 04:57:42 SERVER logger: cd+++++++++ plex/Application Support/
Jan 24 04:57:42 SERVER logger: rsync: recv_generator: mkdir "/mnt/user0/plex/Application Support" failed: No space left on device (28)
Jan 24 04:57:42 SERVER logger: *** Skipping any contents from this failed directory ***
Jan 24 04:57:42 SERVER logger: rsync error: some files/attrs were not transferred (see previous errors) (code 23) at main.c(1042) [sender=3.0.7]
Jan 24 04:57:42 SERVER logger: ./plex/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Scanners
Jan 24 04:57:42 SERVER shfs/user0: shfs_mkdir: assign_disk: plex/Application Support (28) No space left on device

 

I'd appreciate any insight on this and how I might resolve? I find it odd that I'm getting a 'no space left on device' error as all drives have lots of free space.

 

The plex share is set to most free allocation method, min free space is 0, split level is 999 and only one drive is set as excluded (have 4x other drives in server)

 

running v5.0b14. Syslog attached.

 

Thanks in advance

First, this does not appear to be a plex-related issue so I'd be grateful if it could be moved back to general support where it might get some attention.

 

Looking into this a little more, it seems the problem is the creation of the 'Application Support' directory in /mnt/user0/plex/

 

When I telnet into the server and try to manually mkdir that directory, I receive the error 'No space left on device'

 

Now, I had created the share 'plex' with the 'use cache disk' set to 'only' to allow me configure this application on cache but not have the mover script move it (I'd previously been using .plex on cache for this application but there was a memory leak/bug issue having it run from a hidden directory).

 

So, in summary, I have a cache-only share named 'plex' which us showing up in /mnt/user0/ and in which mover/rsync seems to want to create a sub-directory but cannot.

 

Any helpful ideas?

 

Thanks
