Hi,
In my FreeNAS machine I have few data (20Gb).
It´s a small business with only 4 user.
The Server is a Lenovo TS140 with 8Gb of ram.
I have one VM with windows for alarm sevice only (alarm server does not work on linux to put in a jail).
Last week for data security reasons I started another Freenas machine in my home, a simplorious hardware (Celeron, desktop pc and 8gb of ram) with replication active between both.
But I did not was lot confortable with this hardware at the backup.
Friday at 18:00 I shutdown the VM just for testing how many memory it was using and stayed off this machine. (you can see at the image that reduce a lot)
So, yesterday I signed and configure rsync.net service for off-site bakcup (now I have one in rsync.net and another at home).
After that I noted that ARC size increase a lot, as you can see attached.
If you see the images attached you will check I never use that amount of ARC memory before.
And today at 11am it attached some swap memory.
The only change that I did was to redirect rsync to another folder at the bakcup site, and start it again.
Another thing is that I never looked swap memory before, and FreeNAS always have used it in my setup.
But, before last week I had the windows VM online, so maybe was because of it.
Should I increase the RAM?
It´s safe to continue using this swap memory?
It´s normal that ARC size increase a lot after start Rsync?
ARC size is a warning about whe you need to increase the memory?
Thanks!
