Database or disk is full

Plex Media Server

Server Version#: 1.41.7.9799

Hi, I currently have a Plex Server installed on an Asustor FS6712X NAS with 8TB of storage.

I’m running into an issue where I’m not able to add or remove any items from my Plex server. It started when I was importing my music into Plex. I got to around ‘S’ and I got an error message saying database or disk is full. I have at least a terabyte of disk space remaining so I assume it means the database. Now when I try to add or delete items from my library, it says ‘There was a problem deleting this item’ and nothing happens.

Things I’ve Tried:

  • Deleting the music I added doesn’t free up any space.
  • Restoring from an older database backup still results in the error message ‘database or disk is full’.
  • Forcing it to create a new database hoses my installation until I restore from an older backup.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Please include the Server’s DEBUG (Debug mode is needed) logs ZIP file which captures trying to add / remove media.

I can’t export this log file. I get a 500 Internal Server Error when I do. The error that appears in the console is:

[Req#dbab] Couldn’t copy file “/volume1/Plex/Library/Plex Media Server/Logs/Plex Media Server.log” to “/tmp/tempLogs07fd2e07-e4a8-4a64-900b-b69c4ad72ebe/Plex Media Server.log”: No space left on device

Ok, so I figured it out. The smoking gun was in the last error message. /tmp was full. Apparently Plex Media Server does not like it when /tmp is full. I navigated to it, deleted some .jpg files, and I had room to add more media to my library.

So I know for the future, is it safe to delete everything in /tmp when it gets full?
