This has been the most mystifying technical issue I have dealt with in a very long time. Machine specs below:
AMD Ryzen 2700X
16GB Crucial DDR4 ECC
ASUS TUF B450M-Plus GAMING (supports ECC)
4xSeagate Ironwolf 8TB + 1xWD White Label WD80EMAZ 8TB (slotted for replacement over the Summer)
Boot drive: KingDian 240GB SSD (though same issue happens with any other boot or install when using this config)
Corsair CX650M
This machine has two purposes: SMB NAS storage and Plex server. The only services that are enabled in the Services tab are S.M.A.R.T. and SMB. There are two scheduled tasks: 1 ZFS scrub that occurs every 14 days on Sunday, and 1 short S.M.A.R.T. for all discs that happens nightly at 00:00:00. Plex is up to date and does not have any tasks scheduled in it like periodic library updates or anything. I have both enabled and disabled any autotune tunables and that doesn't make a difference. I've switched out the PCIE NIC, cables and ports to see if that was it but no dice there.
This issue started well before I even upgraded to TrueNAS12, it started on FreeNAS 11.3 U5 and I upgraded to TrueNAS to see if that was part of the issue. The rest of the machine is fine so I have two requests for assistance:
1) Determining the root cause of the issue without scrapping the Plex plugin instance. I have spent hundreds of hours meticulously modifying the metadata in this instance, which is in read-only mode, along with making playlists and I absolutely do not want to start over from scratch again if that can be avoided.
2) Is there a way to schedule a recycle of the Plex plugin at a specific time daily until the root issue can be uncovered? I really don't want to have to restart the Plex instance every day if it is something that can be automated.
Thanks so much for reading the thread and any help that can be provided.
