Plex server goes wild, consumes all memory then stops (database corruption?)

Plex Media Server NAS & Devices

  1. You probably need Synology’s assistance to fix that. I am not versed in the internal database which maintains the shared folders lists.

  2. What do you think “NAS” stands for? Network Accessible Storage. That’s its primary purpose. Running apps on it happens to be a nice benefit. There are vendors who do not allow users to install apps. “Primary” versus “Whole” - Not worth debating.

  3. There are multiple protocols one can use to share files. To name a few, all of which any Linux machine can do with ease -
    a. NFS
    b. SMB
    c. FTP
    d. SSH

  4. /volume1/Plex – If you can confirm there is nothing of value in there – Go to Control Panel - Shared Folders - DELETE it.

  5. I don’t know why they chose @. Maybe you can ask in their forums or in a Support ticket ?

  6. IMPORTANT

  7. You have data in /volume1/@apphome/PlexMediaServer ? How much space (since you jumped in and are mucking about in the shell) ? If it’s more than a few MB then you might have a live server there.

  8. PMS 1.24.2.4973 MOVED those files from @apphome to the new PlexMediaServer (no spaces) shared folder – FOR THE PRIMARY PURPOSE of making backups easier.

Have you had time to review my release notes?

Lastly, you might be well skilled in Linux. I’ve been doing it for 40+ years. It still took me almost a year to get Synology so it would work for everyone.

I’m not here to measure but please do respect how I designed and implemented it?
It’s clear that you don’t understand Synology mentality.

I will teach you if you want to learn but here in the forum, in this thread, isn’t the right place for it.
