MerceanCoconut Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 Hi,I'm running Sync 1.0.134 on Debian Linux packaged by tuxpoldo. Any time a download reaches 2.5 MB btsync crashes. Restarting will continue the download until the next 2.5 MB is reached and it crashes again. Uploading works fine, and the crashing is reproduceable when syncing locally or remotely. If all files are smaller than 2.5 MB there is no problem, only for larger files does Sync crash.While watching sync.log I noticed that when Sync starts I see the following two lines:[20130430 09:10:04] total physical memory -1 max disk cache 2097152[20130430 09:10:04] Using IP address 192.168.21.2For some reason, after these two lines are written sync.log is immediately overwritten again, so they don't appear in the log after the crash occurs.On another Debian machine the physical memory is a number that makes more sense. I suspect that Syncs inability to determine the memory available is the cause of the problem...but who knows.I have started a request, but haven't received much feedback:https://syncapp.zendesk.com/requests/662Hopefully someone has some suggestions. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuxpoldo Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 I have noticed similar problems on some small machines I'm operating (Alix 2D13 with Debian Wheezy). This is a system based on AMD Geode with only 256 MB RAM (a typical router board). I suppose that nowadays btsync still requires a lot of RAM but I hope that in the next version a lot of the RAM related issues will be solved. There are some posts talking about this issue...

MerceanCoconut Posted June 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 The machine I'm running it on has 1.5 GB of RAM, so I think it should be enough. On another machine running wheezy, it has 1 GB of RAM and runs with no problems.On the machine that crashes frequently, I have tried all btsync versions since 1.0.132 on squeeze and after upgrading to wheezy. It has consistently crashed in all scenarios. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MerceanCoconut Posted June 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 Sync appears to be working now...I don't have an explanation. It seems to me that the crashes stopped after upgrading to 1.0.134.2-1~wheezy. From the changelog it looks like it was compiled against different libraries than previous versions.
