PMS stops scanning partially sometimes

Server Version#: 1.41.5.9522
Player Version#: 4.145.1

Hey there guys,

it occasionally happens, that my Linux PMS sometimes stops scanning for new files. I’ll have to manually trigger a library scan for all libraries and then the changes get picked up.

I don’t see any pattern when this happens, it seems to be pretty random.

On a sidenote: I already increased the value for max_user_watches on my host machine to 2097152. PMS is running bare metal and not in a Docker container.

Any help would be greatly appreciated why this is happening :heart:

Anybody? Maybe @OttoKerner could chime in with his knowledge? (Sorry for tagging :pray: But I need this fixed somehow :see_no_evil:)

Update: Seems to have been an issue with the filesystem’s settings I’m using (mergerfs). After setting it up properly Plex’ partial scan is working as intended
