Do i need to be looking in another dir that possibly has the offending build up of files ?
how would i look at the dir of the sys volume to see whats in there and what size ?
Try the steps here for plex:
While you have the OS partition remounted, you should also look in /mnt/media. Look for files in the USB_HDD* folders there - the ones in /mnt should be empty.

This isn't unique to the ReadyNAS package, it's been reported with other NAS and also the Windows server.
So, are they always in the same directory, and is that directory uniquely used by PLEX? If both answers are "yes", then it should be possible to also move their creation to /apps. Of course, PLEX should do that on its own and should also clean up after itself..

Clearly plex should clean them up. But let's see if this it really the issue here, and get rid of any of these files.
