Hi All

I havent seen this error in a long time? : Docker image disk utilization of 97%

But after upgrading to version 6.12.13 I got this again.

 

I stopped the dockers and took a screenshot of the utilization:

I then waited and when I starting getting the email warning I took another screenshot

 

The Plex media server is going crazy!

But my configuration is the same? I haven't changed anything for a year:

Any idea on what to do?

Attached diagnostic file.

 

Thanks

Casperse

Restarting the Plex docker and I am back to normal:


Extra parameters: --no-healthcheck --log-opt max-size=50m --log-opt max-file=1 --restart unless-stopped --mount type=tmpfs,destination=/tmp/PlexRamScratch,tmpfs-size=68719476736 --memory=64G

Update. The only logic behind such a large increase to the docker was some internal process in Plex logging or downloads?

I found some users with enabled download to device, I disabled these and havent seen this happen again (Cross my fingers).

The funny thing is that I always had this disabled for all users (Memory is not a good solution if you enable downloading and transcoding of files to another format)

UPDATE: That didn't solve it keep getting these errors, and its not Plex that is low now.

Okay testing the tmp location it looks like it doesent save the scratch file in the folder anymore.

 

Is the syntax changed?

 

--no-healthcheck --log-opt max-size=50m --log-opt max-file=1 --restart unless-stopped --mount type=tmpfs,destination=/tmp/PlexRamScratch,tmpfs-size=68719476736 --memory=64G

 

 

 

I havent changed anything so something must be wrong.

The syntax in the advanced settings?

 

--mount type=tmpfs,destination=/tmp/PlexRamScratch,tmpfs-size=68719476736 --memory=64G

 

CAn anyone help me in trial and error haven't helped so far 🙂

Update: I removed the  --memory=64G and it seems like it saves scratch data in the correct folder again
