The plex docker image was hung so badly that docker kill plex wouldn't kill it, so I had to stop the docker service. This evening, I could happily ls the Movies folder, but ls on the TV folder would hang the VM (I'd have to disconnect and open a new SSH session). If I SSH to the server and try an ls on the /plexmedia/Movies or /plexmedia/TV directories I get very weird behaviour.
