Socrates Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 I have 8GB memory allocated to unraid, and it looks like it keeps running out of memory. Unraid is in a VM, and vshpere constantly complains about unraid running out of memory. I have ordered 128GB ECC memory and should arrive today. So now I will have a lot more memory in hand that i can allocate to Unraid. Unraid being one of the most important VM in my ESXI stack, I dont mind allocating a larger chunk of my total memory slot. I was planning to allocate it 32gb, would that be enough, if i have half a dozen dockers running, and grafana and telegraf pulling stats from various devices every few seconds? Or should I allocate more? Quote Link to comment
JonathanM Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Unraid will use as much RAM as you want to give it. Any amount above what is strictly needed is used to cache disk accesses, improving performance. Quote Link to comment
hitman2158 Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 See my sig. My backup system is good enough with 8GB (just backup purpose), media system is quite fine with 32GB (right now just inhouse streaming with plex and a few small dockers). Quote Link to comment
Socrates Posted December 7, 2018 Author Share Posted December 7, 2018 Thanks all, I have allocated 32GB to unraid, and the alerts in vsphere have seemed to be gone now. Things are running super smooth. Quote Link to comment
