Server Version#: version-1.30.0.6486 Player Version#: Version 4.97.3 Using linuxserver container Hi there, So I’m just going to lay it out there since it’s doing my head in and I’ve been on unraid discord support linuxserver support already and now I’m here. The plex container size yesterday was only 300ish mb and now this morning woke up to my docker.img full at 100% capacity and when I went looking plex had gone up to 50 GB in container size. since then I have found that the /tmp is where the music analyse input is and it seems from what everyone is saying that’s what makes all these big files. The pictures below have my plex unraid configurations and mappings and show that the container is now 50 GB and now I can’t basically do anything on my docker because of plex. is there a way for it to not use the docker.img and use something else or limit the amount it’s doing since it literally jumped more then 5x its size? If any other information you need please let me know I would like this to be resolved asap. Thanks ![IMG_6542](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/plex/original/4X/1/c/8/1c8f161435b106348ebbedb0ba9fd81a7390f5ca.jpeg) ![IMG_6544](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/plex/original/4X/9/7/3/973d31639e76eb73cfa630bcfb381c1658fb9d6d.jpeg) ---

looks like a lot of other people are having my issue also with the sonic music analyser using a lot of dramatic storage space on the /tmp/. as seen in this photo here its just continuing lines of this music analysis input. ![4](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/plex/original/4X/1/c/e/1ce4c8e236731eda680214d941d1348b714066fe.png) ---

so since then plex has basically my server ■■■■ itself and i have turned off the sonic analyser since that seems to be the stupid reason for all of this now how in the hell do i remove all those tmp file its created so i can free up my docker.img and then after all this is done please someone explain to me why tf you have sonic analysing making so many go dam files in the docker.img container folder and how can i run sonic analyser without it filling up the docker can i mount it somewhere else? ---

Ok, so i figure out you can just change the transcoding mount since I’ve figured out also that’s what it’s doing with the audio with the sonic analyzer. and because the files are stupidly big i either have to mount it outside of docker into the ram or mount into a drive somewhere and let it roll up the gbs. Now i wanna know is this safe to put on ram if i was to run sonic analyser with ram? i know you can transcoding normally with ram would it be safe with sonic analyser? ---

This issue is still on going after moving my transcoding to ram properly since before my configuration was slightly off creating a temp folder within the docker.img which now has been fixed. This Stupid sonic analyser is still to this day creating massive size in the docker.img after just turning it back on yesterday and every mount point possible is directed outside of the docker.img. Can someone explain to me how to remount the sonic analyser or why plex puts it like this? ---

i dont know what you mean by directory. the only plex configuration i have for directory is in the above photo from unraid and its all directed outside of the docker.img. Which is why im unsure why the sonic analyser is still using the docker.img files for its process unraid has still telling me its at 93% like before in the above shot showing my docker capacity and showing plex at 50gb which its normally at like 2 to 3 gb before activating sonic analyser. I simply dont get it why its actions are taking place within there? and its seems to not be cleaning its self either because it hasnt moved since this morning. ---

i dont even know where to start about where they would be stored? All the plex files are ment to be stored in the app data but thats off the docker.img and this wouldnt be an issue? ---

This is a container, right? Get on a command line and exec into the docker shell. From there, getting a directory listing is trivial. You don’t care where the container is stored.
