Plex jail filling up my drive

[sretalla]

They look suspiciously the same size though... I doubt we will get a difference.

This is the output. Currently holding at 80% full, 2.8TiB free, I'm not sure what triggers this the growth but it seems done for the moment.

freenas-v1.db

That's the config database... very curious as to how that lands inside a jail?

 

[Maxburn]

I do not know.

Disk usage crept up to about 95%. I stopped the jail and the UI never reflected that happened but did show down after refreshing the page. After that disk usage was about 82%. I then realized I had an update pending, updated to TrueNAS-13.0-U5.3. After the reboot disk usage back to 58% full, 6.08TB free.

Potential misunderstanding; should I have run that ncdu -1xqo- / > /tmp/files.txt command inside the jail? Is that maybe why the config in the results you all weren't expecting?

Everything I've shown so far including the ncdu's I've been running that cleaned up the space usage were just SSH into the box itself, not the jail.

Yes.

We want to see what's different inside the jail when the space is filling up.

OK, from inside the jail this time. I had to install ncdu inside the jail, which happily went fine even though the NAS was reporting the disk 100% full.
