Appdata, isos, system and domains are the only things on the Cache drive, mover has been run and there is nothing on the cache drive that shouldn't be. I only have 1 docker installed currently (plex) and no VMs or ISOs downloaded or(no VMs). I have tried to delete old files that docker apps left behind, but some of the folders won't delete. ( I also have a share thsts empty but there are folders I can't delete (no files in them that I can see) and therfor can't remove the share)
I'm at a point where I want to restart my server from scratch, but don't want to loose the data on the drives in the array, can this be done? And if so, how?
How big is your Plex library?
This is the most likely culprit. My cache has about 200 GB and Plex is just over 75 GB.
Another thing to check is your vDisk size in your docker settings.
Plex library is 24.5tb
Do you have thumbnail generation turned on (like fribbtastic mentioned)? That could be a reason why.
In the web interface, click the “>_” icon in the top right to open the terminal. Then type
du -sh /mnt/user/appdataand post the results here189G /mnt/user/appdata
I made a mistake in that code line. It should be this instead
du -sh /mnt/user/appdata/*Sorry about that!
EDIT: but, this size is nearly the same size as your cache drive. If you only have Plex installed, it’s my assumption that you do have thumbnail generation turned on. Doing so can take a lot of storage space if you have a large media library
yea, its plex
How can I delete the rest, that isnt plex? they are old Dockers which I have removed.-
open the console and delete them through that (look up the
rmcommand), you could also use a docker container called Krusader to do that in a more "clicky" way.To add, Plex specifically can be that large when you have thumbnail generation enabled.
Interesting, in didn't think Plex would be the culprit.
