Sickbeard post-processing chokes Ultra 6
Hi everyone, I have Sickbeard TPB alpha installed on my Ultra 6 running OS 6.1.4, as well as Transmission and Plex Media Server. Sickbeard is the git version and is always up-to-date. Everythin...
Hmm, no responses yet on the RAM question.
However, I've been monitoring system load more closely in the mean time, and I've concluded that I don't have this problem anymore if I don't let Sickbeard start on system boot. When I boot my Ultra 6 with OS 6.1.4, system loads rise between 3.0 and 5.0 for a couple of minutes. It are the readynasd and java processes that start taxing the CPU heavily right after boot. After < 5 minutes, system load goes back to normal (0.3~0.5).
If I then start Sickbeard and there are a number of files (20~40) in the post-processing folder, system load skyrockets again up to 7.0 with CPU utilizations up to 200%, but the Ultra 6 doesn't freeze anymore. When post-processing is over, load drops back to a maximum of 0.8 with Transmission, Sickbeard, Couchpotato and Headphones all running simultaneously.
So my problem was clearly due to the combination of SB + readynasd & java overloading the Ultra 6 at boot. Solution = a simple script that monitors system load right after boot and that launches the other daemons when load has decreased back to normal values.
Still would like to know if adding more RAM would make sense though ;)
