Jellyfish library.db-wal taking up a lot of space - Betty02 - 2025-08-12
Hi all,
I got a random error on my Radarr server about disk access, anyway I looked into it and noticed my cash was full. I did some digging and the large files taking up most of the it's space are listed below -

Now, I have no idea why this has all of a sudden increased, I tried to play with the LiveTV element and added a m3u playlist with a fair few channels on it. It spent days saying it was updating or refreshing some guide or something, I thought nothing of if. I have since removed that m3u file as of yesterday, and restarted my Unraid server and the container itself numerous times. I'm unable to access the web UI.
I dont want to go and delete this file if it wont rebuild nicely so after any other help in getting it sorted? My cache drive is now full and can't really do much
Thanks

Ok, it has now dropped itself down to 6GB does this seem more feasible?

Considering mine is 32 MiB, I'm not sure how yours got so large...seeing if I can get help on that front...
Code:
bitmap@chromaserv:docker$ ls jellyfin/data/data/jellyfin.db*
-rwxrwxr-x 1 bitmap docker 28M Aug 12 14:47 jellyfin/data/data/jellyfin.db
-rwxrwxr-x 1 bitmap docker 64K Aug 12 15:49 jellyfin/data/data/jellyfin.db-shm
