Jellyfin fills up my disk space when doing a library scan - Daniel_King - 2025-03-17
Hello,
when I perform a library scan, Jellyfin fills up my disk space till it is full and stops.
Before performing the library scan:
Code:
$ df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
tmpfs 1.6G 1.3M 1.6G 1% /run
/dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-ubuntu--lv 12G 5.6G 5.1G 53% /
tmpfs 7.9G 0 7.9G 0% /dev/shm
tmpfs 5.0M 0 5.0M 0% /run/lock
/dev/sda2 2.0G 185M 1.7G 11% /boot
tmpfs 1.6G 12K 1.6G 1% /run/user/1000
movies{cRIbE}: 1.0P 0 1.0P 0% /media/movies2At 67 % library scan progress:
Code:
df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
tmpfs 1.6G 58M 1.6G 4% /run
/dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-ubuntu--lv 12G 12G 0 100% /
tmpfs 7.9G 0 7.9G 0% /dev/shm
tmpfs 5.0M 0 5.0M 0% /run/lock
/dev/sda2 2.0G 185M 1.7G 11% /boot
tmpfs 1.6G 12K 1.6G 1% /run/user/1000
movies{cRIbE}: 1.0P 0 1.0P 0% /media/movies2I enabled "Save artwork into media folders", therefore the artwork should be stored in my media folder on Google Drive.
What is Jellyfin writing to "/dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-ubuntu--lv"?
Edit:
I found the answer, it is not really Jellyfin, it is the vfs cache from rclone.
