After OOM kills, Readynas doesn't restart killed services
Hi All, I understand that I'm running out of memory and the system is doing its best to recover by killing processes via OOM. But why doesn't the OS restart those services afterwards? If SMB go...
The additional memory looks to have stabilized my ReadyNAS Ultra 6 Plus. Running at 1GB seemed to make the machine unstable on OS6. With 4GB, the box appears stable with services/etc (non-caching) using ~400MB on v6.10.3, running SMB,Rsync,HTTP/S,SNMP,SSH. I'll keep looking for OOM kills, but likely the $17 of memory was worth it :)
Since all current OS6 models have at least 2GB of RAM, it has long been recommended that a user migrating a legacy NAS to OS6 follow suit. It looks like that may need to be more than a recommendation from this point forward, likely due to size increases in the OS itself.

Yes, I agree it should be more than a suggestion (which is how I've phrased it in the past).
I remember when I upgraded to OS6, I backed up my NAS, bought all new fans and memory. On the big day, I put everything in the box, reassembled it, and it wouldn't turn on. Sadly, the memory I bought didn't work in the box, so I pulled it out --- but had enough momentum toward upgrading to OS6 that I figured I would move ahead and keep my fingers crossed.
For quite a while it was mostly stable.. and I would do volume maintenance Sundays at midnight, then reboot afterwards. This worked for about 9 mos, but I had forgotten my intention was to have upgraded the memory day 1....
I definitely recommend to all to make sure your memory upgrade takes before taking the plunge into OS6.
