Server Version#: 10.32.7.7621-7000 For a while now (at least a year) PSM will occasionally start consuming all the ram on my Synology (DSM7 on 1019+) with 16GB of ram until it finally causes everything to stop responding and if I’m lucky, DSM will kill PSM. If I’m unlucky, I get to spend 10-20 minu…

nope. sorry, thought I had that in my post but I guess not. lol. Not enabled on either 1019+ or 1819+

The J3455 CPU supports a MAXIMUM of 8GB of RAM. https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/95594/intel-celeron-processor-j3455-2m-cache-up-to-2-3-ghz.html Putting more than 8GB into the machine causes a false read by Linux (it doesn’t know what the CPU’s maximum is) This is the kind of…

It’s run “fine” with 16GB for years. Plex is the only thing that seems to have any issues. Kingston even says 16GB is supported: Memory for a Synology - DiskStation DS1019+ - Kingston Technology I understand this isn’t what Intel says, but previous years of experience and the web of people saying 1…

How much 4K video transcoding and HDR tone mapping do you do now? The issue with 16 GB of RAM in an 8GB machine – and the kernel trying to use it comes when The i915 / i965 QSV perform the transcode – They will allocate anything they want from all of defined memory OpenCL (tone mapping) , whi…

No HDR tone mapping at all. And 4k transcoding, barely any? Understood this is all seems, and that kingston sells memory. I’m kind of saying “let’s put aside this as the assumed cause, and actually find evidence it is”. Based on nothing specific, it does seem to be triggered randomly. It could be …

So, watching the logs… I do see "Library section 1 (TV Shows) will be updated because of a change in “/volume1/Data/TV/Icon” This is recurring every minute or so… so scan completes, re-triggers. Wonder if the re-scans are just backing up. I am using resilio to sync my content between Synologies… …

[image] staze: 10.32.7.7621-7000 This is not the PMS server version. Do you mean 1.32.7.7621-871adbd44 You’re kinda grabbing at straws by saying “it could be this or that” which isn’t any more fair than you refuting my observations about what these machines do when incorrectly fitted wit…

[image] staze: This is recurring every minute or so… so scan completes, re-triggers. Wonder if the re-scans are just backing up. Are you running torrents which write directly to your media libraries (which PMS is watching) ?

No, no torrents directly into any PMS folders… but Resilio does use BT as it’s underpinnings. Still seeing everything nice and quiet since adjusting that setting. And yes, I agree. Will turn on debug and get some logs if I see this happen again. atm I’m going to see if it reoccurs since the Resilio…

Do you have the DLNA server enabled? There’s a known memory leak that isn’t likely to be fixed.
