January 1, 201313 yr Hi, Lately, over the past few weeks my DLNA servers (UMS & PS3MS) have been disappearing, I reload them via putty and the next time my son goes to stream some media the servers don't appear and have crashed or stopped somehow. Is there any way to tell why these programs have stopped working? There is nothing in my syslog at all about stopping a process. Running unraid 4.7 The strange thing is that I haven't changed anything on the server, and last night I rebooted it, and woke up this morning and no dlna servers. According to unmenu this is my memory usage. Memory Info (from /usr/bin/free) total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 4020096 3896280 123816 0 54104 3717476 -/+ buffers/cache: 124700 3895396 Swap: 0 0 0 Most of it seems to be cached. So do I need more RAM? I run the server with unmenu, snap to assign an apps drive, sickbeard, sabnbz, mrtg, and I haven't updated anything, BUT I have just before Christmas bought a LG LED TV, and Samsung BR DVD player, and the troubles were noticed around that time (I spend ages trying to get the TV to recognised the DLNA servers, then realised they were not running Syslog is attached if your interested. I'm fairly new to linux so I have to admit I'm starting to feel a bit lost with all this. Happy New Year from Australia Cheers. syslog-2013-01-01.txt
January 2, 201313 yr Author I think I've narrowed down the problem to Sickbeard. I rebooted last night and with PS3MS, Sickbeard & SABNZB running and it ran from 10pm last night to just before 3pm this afternoon with free memory and I could access via DLNA no problems. There was around 2.7Gb free on a system with 4Gb memory. Sickbeard ran a scan around 3pm resulting in errors. 2013-01-02 03:07:16.085885 SHOWQUEUE-REFRESH :: Unable to parse the filename "TV Show" into a valid episode a valid episode The errors are nothing to worry about, just Sickbeard unable to find a TVDB listing for an episode, but it shows that it was running a scan of the shows on the server. PS3 Media Server was missing again, memory is now a miserable 150Mb free, and cache is a whopping 3.68Gb again! Nothing else was running, SABNZB hasn't downloaded for days. So now that I might have narrowed it down to Sickbeard, does anyone else have any suggestions or experiences with Sickbeard hogging memory? FYI Sickbeard is installed via unmenu and kept up to date. It's currently Alpha Master, Python 2.6.4 (r264:75706, Dec 5 2009, 21:18:28) [GCC 4.3.3] Any help would be very appreciated.

So do I need more RAM? You have nearly all your RAM free (3895396 out of 4020096). Here is a good site that explains how Linux uses memory: http://www.linuxatemyram.com/ I don't see anything in the syslog, but others may see something I am overlooking. From what is being reported on your memory, that does not seem to be the problem.
January 2, 201313 yr Author Thanks lainie, I think I found the culprit, the PS3 Media Server itself. I'll report back if I find out the problem.
