NAS not starting any services #25220444

I found the underlying problem for these jna files being created and eventually filling the partition. After just a few days of use now there were a large amount of them again in tmp. After some more searching I found about 20,000 log files of CrashPlan restarting (hence the creation of the jna files). Not much info in those log files, but I figured out it's because CrashPlan is running out of RAM due to my backup size.

One symptom of this happening could be that the GUI disconnects, which it has been doing actually, but not for very long, so the partition must have filled pretty rapidly over a series of days, maybe weeks, but probably not months. It's not like I'm in the CrashPlan GUI that often to react to the disconnections.

I found these recommendations on memory allocation. I had no idea about this either. :)

I have about 100,000 files in 5.1 TB selected atm. According to these recommendations I should allocate 5 GB of memory. I have 4 GB + the 2 GB swap. I tried settings of both 5120 and 4096, but CrashPlan wouldn't start for some reason. I then tried a more moderate setting of 2048 and that has been running stable now for a while. No crashes. For now...

free -m returns this:

             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:          3956       3827        128          0         67       1766

I noticed someone running 2 x 4 GB in the Pro 6, but I don't think that's an option really for me. DDR2 is getting ridiculously expensive. :) This also pushes me towards the RN516 when it's time to upgrade. Now I have another reason to upgrade besides running out of space on C again. 2 x 8 GB on the RN516 vs. 1 x 4 on the RN316.
