Constant writing on USB

I have latest omv installed on a USB stick with the flash memory plug-in installed and running, but I still get constant writing on the usb.

Docker is installed to a different drive.

I saw an old thread from years ago saying it's an issue with EXT4, is it still a thing? If I switch to xfs on the usb will it fix the issue?

Can add pics here for some reason.

I tried adding

tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults,noatime,nodiratime,mode=1777,size=1G 0 0

tmpfs /var/log tmpfs defaults,noatime,nosuid,mode=0755,size=100m 0 0

or

tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults,noatime,nosuid 0 0

tmpfs /var/log tmpfs defaults,noatime,nosuid,size=64m 0 0

to fstab but all it did is break gui access, it didn't fix the constant writes.

I removed the lines and it just made things worse, now I have even more writes.

switching to xfs will not help

your fstab entries are duplicating what flashmemory already does.

flashmemory does not stop all writes and I don't see any excessive writing to sdc in your first graph.

60gb per day is normal?

Shows how often I read those charts. No, I guess that isn't normal but I don't think it is coming from the OS either. That seems more like a docker container or two is running on the OS drive.

I have the docker directory on a different drive, I only run immich and transmission+vpn and they're both setup to different drives, 1 SSD and 1 HDD.

What steps do you suggest for troubleshooting? Or should I just start from scratch?

It's jbd2, constant 600-700kb write, I think I'll just reinstall.

My setup is simple 1 HDD for torrents and smb and 1 SSD for immich.

Thanks for the help

Down to 80mb per hour or just 2gb per day after reinstalling
