Normally any share on an SSD pool device doesn't need to be cached by cache_dirs. Shares like 'isos' don't need to be cached. Cache_dirs by default will cache everything it finds. It can be a real memory hog. Thank you for the replay. I don't have any shares on the SSD Pool. At least not intentionally. And I wasn't quite sure how to do this, but I went into the settings and excluded every folder that IS NOT a normal media folder. Hopefully this is what you were suggesting? If I did do it properly, it did not fix it. Same error on preclear attempt. Edited October 27, 20232 yr by jimeez

I actually prefer the opposite. Only include the shares you want cached. If I remember correctly, cache_dirs will cache remote shares and that is not necessry and is wasteful of memory.

Not the drive, but the mobo or sata ports?

Maybe, but the error was a memory issue. That's why I had you check the cache_dirs setup. At this point I would run a memory test.

Thank you for the responses and attempts to help. I'm switching my setup back over to an Intel board in a few days. Seeing some other wonkiness since switching to AMD. Will wait until I make that change and run a preclear again; see what happens. Thanks again.
October 29, 20232 yr When I run the plugin from the Tools screen I get a message that says "There are no disks that can be precleared.". But, I have a mounted disc in the unassigned Devices screen. When I look at the unassigned devices screen I don't see an icon for the preclear. I've tried the plugin with the drive mounted & unmounted. Not sure what I'm missing. *** Update: And I found my own answer. I had to delete the partition first. Edited October 29, 20232 yr by InReasonNotFish more info

So I ran a memory test on both the old memory I was using and the new memory I just installed during the switchover (back) to an Intel setup. All momory checked out fine; no errors. But on the "new" setup, once I got everything up and running I attempted to preclear some discs. Four discs to be exact. They all failed and produced the same low memory error. So I'm now using a new mobo, new processor, and new memory and am still getting the same error. Also, during these new attempts to preclear, I stopped all dockers and VMs and shut down both services. As you can see in the stats screenshot the system has plenty of available memory. I'm at a loss. Edited November 1, 20232 yr by jimeez

November 1, 20232 yr Author I was going to ask you to do that next. That's what it should look like. A plugin or docker is causing an issue. Add them back one at a time until you see the issue. Let me know what you find.

How does one go about adding plugins one at a time?

I just booted back up under normal mode, but prior to doing so I removed .plg files from the \flash\config\plugins folder. So no plugins are currently installed/running. Docker is shut down and VM is shut down. I am back to: Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on rootfs 0 0 0 - /

NerdTools - you may have a package being installed causing an issue. Gpu stat. Nvidia-driver. disk location. The reboot. I don't know if any of these are causing an issue, but let's eliminate the possibility.
November 6, 20232 yr Author 4 minutes ago, jimeez said: Dan - after rebooting the server (same old flash drive, but on a USB 2.0 port) I am not able to mount the SMB shares now. Did you change something in the SMB setting that would prevent these from starting? UD thinks 'SERVER-NEW' is off-line. Turn 'NETBIOS' back on and see if UD sees the server is online. It may be needed to recognize that server.
November 6, 20232 yr Author Just now, jimeez said: Yep, that fixed it. That older server needs it enabled so UD can resolve the IP address. Did the USB2.0 port change let the 'df /' work?
