I can't seem to figure out why the PMS docker is crashing my server when it runs the maintenance task each night.

All of my drives are in good condition, swapped out all the bad ones with SMART error. Hoping that would fix the problem, but it continues.

 

I have 4 other docker images running and 2 VM's running on the server. It's only when the "Scheduled Tasks" starts for PMS then the server freeze altogether. PMS stream media without any issue or crashing.

 

Any idea where I should be looking at?

Tried troubleshooting the issue by turning all other dockers and VM off and only PMS on. Seems like the media scanning for plex is killing the server. 

 

This is the top at the time of crash.

Did you ever find a solution for this?  My binhex/plex is crashing server each night.

I am looking for a solution myself.  Linucserver.io Plex docker is crashing my server during maintanence
