Hello folks!
I’m the proud user of a homemade Nas and it works from 10 years with no probs!
Now I’ve upgraded from Core to Scale and it works as well but… I can’t bypass the 2gb Ram limits of ASRock Atom 330Ion and some apps breaks down or are incredibly slow
Something’s missing me: that limits is for windows 32 only or…
holy jesus, you’re very well below the minimum system requirements for current scale and core versions, i’m surprised your sytem is even working with apps.
The current minimum ram requirement for basic nas usage without apps is 8GB and 16GB for apps usage.
My TrueNAS Scale system uses c. 4GB alone for base TrueNAS services, and you really do need some amount of ZFS ARC, so IMO actually getting it to run at all on only 2GB is an achievement, but I would then imagine that it is reasonably slow and possibly relatively unstable.
There are anecdotes on here and Reddit of people running out of memory and getting pool corruption as a consequence. In theory it probably shouldn’t happen, but apparently in reality it does.
Get a new MB with more memory before something bad happens.
Yes, it support 4gb (and I’m running on it) but effective use is lower (due to Win32 limitations)
I know, another MB is obviously the solution but I’m scared to change this amazing MB (stable, just 42 W/h, well equipped). The only choice I’ve found is Asus Prime N100I: any opinion or feedback?
