John_M Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 How much RAM to you have set aside for the APU's Radeon integrated graphics? Try setting it in the BIOS to the lowest possible value. Of your 4096 MB of RAM there's only 3388 MB available to unRAID. Quote Link to comment
ixnu Posted December 15, 2016 Author Share Posted December 15, 2016 Thanks John! Did not think about that. However, should just plain unraid with no dockers and just minimal plugins require > 3GB memory? I got away with 2 GB on my old system with more disks... Quote Link to comment
John_M Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 I don't know what version of unRAID your old server ran but version 6 needs more RAM than version 5. I think 4 GB ought to be enough for a basic NAS but 3.3 GB is a little tight, as you've seen! See how you get on once you've freed up some more RAM and if necessary add another 4 GB stick. It's not that expensive. Quote Link to comment
gubbgnutten Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Have you tried running in safe mode (without plugins)? Quote Link to comment
ixnu Posted December 15, 2016 Author Share Posted December 15, 2016 Have not tried safe mode. I have turned off all plugins except Dynamix webGui. More memory really means at least 16GB (why go with 8GB if ~4GB is an issue on the absolutely barest system). Also, I would want to run memtest for at least 24 hours on it. It's not the costs at all, but I'm about 60 hours into troubleshooting these two issues and I just want to get a stable system. Again, thanks for you guys taking a look at this! Quote Link to comment
ixnu Posted December 16, 2016 Author Share Posted December 16, 2016 Found some slower dimms to get to 8GB. Will see how that does. If ~4GB is not enough for my set up of 10 disks with no dockers, I would think the suggest that the wiki be updated n'est pas? https://lime-technology.com/wiki/index.php/Designing_an_unRAID_server "For most unRAID builds, 2GB of RAM is more than adequate. If the server will be used for tasks such as running torrents or virtual machines, at least 4 GBs of RAM is recommended." Quote Link to comment
gubbgnutten Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Sure, no dockers, but you are running a bunch of plugins... In this case my primary suspect would be cache dirs. Do you still get OOM after a reboot with that one removed? Quote Link to comment
ixnu Posted December 16, 2016 Author Share Posted December 16, 2016 Moving to 8GB seems to have solved it. Thanks! Quote Link to comment
