PMS Version 1.40.0.7775 using a lot of memory and still rising

[anon5074910]

This version contains a database migration which is mentioned in the release notes. This is a very intensive operation and depending on hardware could take a while to complete.

Continuing the discussion from Plex Media Server:

@drzoidberg33

PLEASE NOTE: This version makes changes to the database which will make it compatible only with server versions 1.31.2 or higher (released March 14). You will not be able to use your database on Plex Media Server versions lower than this after this update.

In order to roll back a database to an older version than 1.31.2 you would first need to downgrade to 1.31.2 (up to 1.32.8) and then downgrade from that version afterwards.

We have bumped the server version right up to 1.40.x to signal this change.

Please also be patient when updating to this version if you have a very large database and allow the upgrade process to finish.
