Cannot begin transaction. database is locked

Console gets flooded with this type of error:
Failed to begin transaction (…/Sync/SyncItemProcessor.cpp:706) (tries=10): Cannot begin transaction. database is locked

ending up with the server becoming unavailable after a few minutes. No items/devices appear to be set to sync.

Server Version#: 1.16.3.1402

Hi @EspenLund, thanks for the logs but the debug information is not enabled in your settings, so the information in the logs is not that useful.

To enable that, follow the section “How to Enable Debug Logging” from here: https://support.plex.tv/articles/201643703-reporting-issues-with-plex-media-server/

Then post the new logs.

Still the same. You sure you set the correct setting? This one.

Yup, that option was selected and still is.
It is back up and running after deleted Preferences.xml as per this thread:

Will report back if it happens again.
