No space left?

we have this: 24 GB free

Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1        52G   25G   24G  52% /

You only need: 3GB

du -ms /var/lib/plexmediaserver
3196	/var/lib/plexmediaserver

Something is not right.
Being remote as I am, there’s nothing I can do either.

It won’t even let you write to the /home/plexdata directory.

Did you just get updates and not reboot?

Nope I have rebooted a few times… Not sure what changed that made it stopped working either as the computer is only used for plex and usually doesn’t even have a monitor plugged in

Can you boot the liveCD / LiveUSB and have it force fsck on /dev/sda1 ?

Something is just plain wrong there

I’ll try that tomorrow and let you know the outcome… Thanks for all your help so far!

I get the following back:

ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo fsck /dev/sda1
fsck from util-linux 2.27.1
e2fsck 1.42.13 (17-May-2015)
/dev/sda1: clean, 3407843/3407872 files, 6421172/13616896 blocks

Having done that,

Still unable to: “mkdir /home/plexdata” ? and/or add anything to that file system?

Now it takes longer to boot up Ubuntu and when I go to login it resets

That is something with Ubuntu itself and beyond the reach of what I can help with

The best I can recommend is:

  1. Back up any media you have on it.
  2. Reinstall from scratch (again with 1 partition)
  3. Load all the updates
  4. Load Plex.

That’s what I was thinking… Is there a way to backup my plex settings?

Yes. Instead of making the tar file to the HD like we did last night, write it to a thumb drive or network share.

Back in business… thanks so much for your help! You have helped me in the past as well and you have to be by far the best support I have ever received with anything.
