Bekijk de volledige versie : wlhdd out of memory
My WLHDD has an 80GB Hard Drive and is running OLEG 1.9.2.7-7g and Twonky Vision 4.2 Music Server. It starts up OK then Twonky stops. The WLHDD log is attached.
Why is it running out of memory and killing the music server process. What can I do apart from re installing the old version?

Macke,
I have the lastest TV running on my WL-HDD without a problem.
You should however check the following:
- Set content-type to Music only
- Use a basic navigation tree. I only use <Artist/Album> and <Folder>
Hope this helps.

Have you created a swapfile or swap partition?

then add a swap-on to post-boot

Thanks for the info. If I do this will I lose everything on the drive currently? It is an 80gb drive with 65gb of music so far. How big should this swap file be?
You should create a swap file (not a partition).
No data will be lost.
Wl-HDD has 16MB of memory.
A swap file size of 128MB should be enough. I personally use 512MB.

Thank you for the info. A little beyond me though I fear. Will probably just re- install the old version.

First hit on google for "linux create swap file":
http://www.linux.com/articles/113956
In order to create our supplementary swap file, we're going to use the dd (data dump) command. You'll need to become root to perform the next few steps. In a regular terminal type su - and enter your root password. When you're ready, carefully type:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/extraswap bs=1M count=512
replacing 512 with the number of megabytes you want in your auxiliary swap file. if= and of= are short for infile and outfile. The /dev/zero device file will give us zeroes to be written to the output file. If you want this file on a different partition, say your /var partition, you would replace /extraswap with /var/extraswap.
Now we have a file the size we want on disk, and we can prepare it for use as a swap partition. We'll use the mkswap command to make our file swap-consumable for the Linux kernel. Again as root, carefully type:
mkswap /extraswap
To turn on our swap file, we run swapon /extraswap. Now when we run swapon -s we should see our existing swap partition and our new swapfile. Also, the free command should show an increase in total swap space."/extraswap" should be e.g. "/opt/swap". And dont forget to edit post-boot (swapon /opt/swap) for activating swap after reboot. See my Howto.
Don't fear. It's easy going and will make life easier.

downloaded putty. Telnet to Asus wl-hdd
entered
dd if=/dev/zero of=/extraswap bs=1M count=512
response
dd: /extraswap: Read-only file system
How do I change this?
As i wrote above you should replace "/extraswap" with "/opt/swap".
Just read what i wrote!
You can only write to your harddisk. Your harddisk is normaly mounted to /opt and /tmp/harddisk. But this is depending on you installation.
So if /opt/swap does not work try /tmp/harddisk/swap or any other location of your harddisk.

Had another go and managed to create the swapfile ok, but got in a mess with getting it to autorun. Decided to start all over again and follow Jono's Wiki. Thanks for all your help.
