Out of memory error on unRAID server, possibly ramdisk related?

Featured Replies

Hi, recently I've been getting OOM errors on my server from the Fix Common Problems plugin.

 

I've noticed (but am not 100% sure) that it usually happens when we're streaming something from Plex. Plex has been set up to use the ramdisk (`/dev/shm` to `/transcode`) as a temporarily transcode dumping ground. But my understanding is that this ramdisk will never cause OOM and cause the kernel to randomly kill off processes with the oom-killer.

 

Attached diagnostics. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Ramdisk is limited to 50% RAM, but the other 50% might not be enough for the rest, if it keeps happening try limiting more the RAM for VMs and/or docker containers, the problem is usually not just about not enough RAM but more about fragmented RAM, alternatively a small swap file on disk might help, you can use the swapfile plugin:

Thanks @JorgeB. I've just added the swapfile plugin to the server. I'll post here if OOM happens again.
