URGENT, 4.1.13 software is also getting corrupted
After I reported that the 4.1.12 software is getting corrupted over time, I have now also experience 4.1.13 corruption. The symptoms are very simple to detect: Raidar will not show the firmware ...
All the ReadyNAS use swap partitions.
The 2x memory guideline is an old rule of thumb, and I think is not really applicable anymore. The amount of swap space you need doesn't go up just because you have increased the amount of memory installed - it is related to the memory workload that is running on the system. For a given load, as you add physical memory the amount of needed swap space goes down, not up.
You can get a sense for what you need by running "free", or examining \proc\meminfo
Here's what it looks like at the moment on my NAS:
DUO v1 has 524192 KB of swap, 320 KB is in use.
NV+ v1 has 767904 KB (3 swap partitions - one for each non-parity drive?). 320 KB is in use.
Pro6 has 2096902 KB, 37MB is in use- perhaps due to CrashPlan. (Newer NAS, including the Pro and the OS6 products also have 4 GB OS partitions)
RN102 has 523964 KB, none of it in use.
