October 9, 20205 yr Hi guys, i moved my plex database from Debian to Unraid Docker Container (plexinc) after a very long first start of the PlexMediaServer (22 hours) it is finaly running, but the Database folder is around 50GB now Plex is running at a normal speed as long as i dont do anything but streaming. 6.3G Cache 5.4M Codecs 0 Crash Reports 116M Logs 3.9G Media 13G Metadata 50G Plug-in Support 1.5M Plug-ins ->> 22M com.plexapp.dlna.db 192K com.plexapp.dlna.db-shm 22M com.plexapp.dlna.db-wal 21M com.plexapp.plugins.library.blobs.db 128K com.plexapp.plugins.library.blobs.db-shm 14M com.plexapp.plugins.library.blobs.db-wal 25G com.plexapp.plugins.library.db 197M com.plexapp.plugins.library.db-shm 26G com.plexapp.plugins.library.db-wal any suggestions? i tried the database optimization wich tooks 24 hours, i deleted a media library and again have to wait for another 24 hours for DB optimization to be completed. Ar there any tools to clean up the database ?
October 9, 20205 yr Hi, are you sure your issue is with the database size ? What was the size on your Debian ? Where is located your plex appdata ? HDD Array or SSD pool ? What is your hardware like ? Sharing your diagonstics in your next post might help to have a better picture of the situation. (Tools/Diagnostics)
October 9, 20205 yr Author complete size of my debian backup has 17gb including cache,db,media,metadata. I added a lot of new mEdia since then, Plex Appdata is on SSD Cache Diagnostics attached: server-diagnostics-20201009-1958.zip Edited October 9, 20205 yr by k04l
November 1, 20205 yr Author i am at 109GB right now, so still growing, and i dont know why. Datbase optimization takes 3 days now... i think i have to do a fresh PMS here. i take a screenshot of my Playlists so i can rebuild them one day..
