RN212 will not power down
RN212 with 2 12TB Seagate drives was working fine last night. Added a backup session to copy a folder from an RN528X to this RN212, which completed successfully overnight. Small transfer, only a few ...

Interesting figures.
But it does show that having AV on, on those lower end units, is probably a bad idea.
As FileSearch brings you little value anyway, I would turn it off. I reckon when it starts to index new files you will probably see a spike in "tracker-miner" mem usage as well.
Also tried this on RN314, which I manuallly upgraded to 4GB RAM last year. In this case:
1) Indexing and AV both running - 90% memory used (3.6 GB) By the way, AV virus definition works fine on this box
2) Disable Indexing - no change at all to memory usage. Probably because it already completed indexing long ago, I guess
3) Disable AV - memory use dropped from 3.6GB all the way down to 2.8GB
Repeated this on RN528X with 32GB RAM:
1) 16.9GB RAM used with Indexing and AV running
2) Disabled only AV, dropped to 14.9 GB - that's 2GB RAM just for AV
3) Disabled Indexing, only another 0.6GB drop...
Seems the AV feature is quite the memory hog, if my test procedure is valid.
