Second full scan taking too long.

[Holtz 0]

Guys, how does Emby work with metadata after a complete scan?
My question is whether the emby takes a long time to scan even with all the files already scanned.
I use linux, with rclone as assembly and using flags
--vfs-cache-mode full
dir-cache-time 1000h
--vfs-cache-max-age 360h

What I have noticed is that Emby does a very long scan of the disk compared to Plex even with the full vfsMeta.

How long does Emby maintain the database with media information and folder path?

Hi, are you sure this is the log from the second scan? The activity here looks more like a first scan.

Hi, Yes, I do, even today I started to receive some errors related to inotify. I increased the limit from 8192 to 1048567 and restarted the service. My library is relatively large and I have everything scheduled for real-time monitoring, there are 9 libraries and until yesterday it was working perfectly when the sonar or radarr imported a file. Today I already see a considerable delay in the scan full.

Yes your Filmes library is seeing inotify limits, but your TV library still appears to be processed as the Anime library is being refreshed probing episodes according to log above.

With the increase I made in inotify will the problem be solved? Anyway, I disabled real-time monitoring in libraries that I don't upload content frequently and left only in Movies, Anime and TV Series

It should, but scan times will be long until all media is processed.

 

Now if media is being reprocessed that would suggest something is changing the media and inotify is seeing that change.
