Hello everyone. I am submitting this bug report at the request of a moderator in the general support section. I had a thread going over there trying to figure this out but we hit a dead end.
I have run into the problem where the process SHFS consumes all of my available memory over time. I have a total of 192GB installed which shows as 189GB available to unraid. It takes around 24 hours for SHFS to consume all that memory, then SHFS will crash and all shares disappear until a restart.
Booting in safe mode exhibits the same issue. I have been observing this issue by opening a terminal window and running the htop command. I then sort by mem% which brings multiple instances of SHFS to the top. Then I just sit and watch as it gradually consumes more and more memory. I was instructed in the general support thread to redo my flash drive which I did. The flash drive was formatted and recreated and only the super.dat and key file were restored from the old config file as instructed.
Attached are a screen shot of htop showing the shfs instances that were running and also diagnostics from last night. This is a completely clean OS install (using existing data disks). No plugins installed, Docker is set of off, and No VMS.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! I didn't know what priority to set, its urgent for me but I am probably the only person with this issue so that makes it not so urgent for the community. Feel free to change it.
