I recently moved from my Synology DS916+ to a DS1621xs+ (both DSM 7) and while all my media is showing up and plays when I add/remove files to the libraries, Plex is not detecting the changes. It does seem to recognize them during the scheduled scans though. Confirmed all shared folders where the me…

When you restart Plex, after it settles and you pull the logs, do you see “No space left on device” errors ?

No i don’t. Did a search for that text in the logs as well and nothing comes back. The volume has about 7TB of free space if this is relating to actual free space on the volume.

No Space left on device does not refer to the volume. It refers to the kernel’s inotify table space. If you have more directories to monitor (automatically) than it can hold, you get notified it’s full (no more slots) The list is loaded at PMS start. Because of activity, the logs will quickly…

I just stopped and started Plex again and you’re right, when quickly looking at the logs i do see a logs with (28: “no space left”) Based on this information, how would I go about resolving the issue?

I’m curious though how you would resolve this if I didn’t modify the music li…

Thank you very much for the detailed instructions! This procedure is a new one for me, but I plan to test it out on a copy of my library running in a virtual DSM.

That procedure has been around since early DSM 6. If you do the counting and the math correctly then edit the Scheduled Task as written (with edited values), it’ll be fne. No virtual DSM required because it doesn’t insulate. Virtual DSM isn’t really a VM; it’s a container on top of DSM.
