Transmission crash under heavy load

[Cubytus]

Hi there,

Still using the Cloudbox here. Now for the upside: the base OS (fvdw) is extremely stable. Currently 540 days of uptime, last reboot was when I had to replace the UPS.
However, it has a strong tendency towards crashing Transmission when under load (NFS transfers ongoing), and vice-versa. Of course, once load subsides, I can relaunch these servers / services without an issue.

Basically, a typical "Move" operation over the network never succeeds (NFS server crashes when it reaches 100%, I suspect when it has to perform the actual deletion), but a "Copy" operation succeeds most of the time. Of course, I have to delete the file /folder by hand, which adds another step as I have to do that through the CLI using the root account (a bad practice, but the only one I found to be working 100% of the time). At the same time, Transmission either grinds to a halt or just crashes altogether.

Now I know this is only a 15-year old SBC with a paltry 256MiB RAM and a single disk, but I'm pretty sure these services and servers can be configured to at least not crash and patiently wait for their turn

sorry to hear that cubytus, this seems to be a problem of overloading the ram and/or swap partition. Does it happens when ram and swap are fully occupied? Without being able to reproduce your error I can not investigate it. Are there some usefull info's in the system logs ?

I'll try to do another transfer, but where in the GUI are the logs? I found the ones relating to the Web server, but not the general OS…
