    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/movies2


    At 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/movies2

    I 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.
