Plex crashing about once a day

How much RAM do you have in your systems?

i had a issue that presented itself the same way as OP it went away after i changed the owner of the plexdata folder and the relevant subdirectories in /var/db to be plex and not root after i changed that i could optimize the databate without crashes.
So:
chown -Rf plex:wheel /var/db/plexdata

and then optimize and my issues where gone

I have the same issue, only started when installing 0.9.12.4.1192 from the GUI (previously had an older version, forgot which, that had the plexdata in a different location than /var/db/plexdata).

Tried solution from INCSlayer, will report back if it doesn't work.

so i did got around this by disabling GDM in plex. The downside to this is some of my devices don't automagically recognize the plex server and I have to manually add it in. This sucks, but its the only thing I have found that fixes the issue.

Did this get fixed, i'm running plex 9.14.6.1620 and plex is crashing when I do a manual optimize.

Which folder in the

/jail/plexmediaserver_1/

dir do you have to back up ?

plex's metadata is in /var/db/plexdata
