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 ❤

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

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
