Those errors usually occur when you have filled the Notify table. ( Do you have a lot of music or photos? – these are the most common reason the table fills up) If you restart PMS, wait 2-3 minutes for it to stabilize, then pull the logs, IF you see “No space left on Device” in conjunction with “Notify” then you have confirmed the table is full. The resolution is to determine how big the table needs to be and adjust the kernel’s table size. > [@Linux Tips](https://forums.plex.tv/t/linux-tips/276247/9): > > Increase the number of directories Linux can monitor (inotify) for PMS The default size of the Linux inotify table is 8192 directories (\*1). When PMS is configured to update automatically when media is added, with properly organized media, especially music, this table rapidly fills and exceeds the default allocation requiring you to increase it.
