Hi guys,
Need some help, I seem to be having a memory problem. How do I identify and free up memory up? - Any tips and tricks.
I have TightVNC, SABnzbd, Sickbeard, Deluged and Samba installed. I have a 4gig SD card.
All help is much appreciated.

Memory ? Or Disk Space ?
If you mean Disk Space, then run this as root from /
If you mean memory, check top and see what process is using up most of your memory
If you mean Disk Space, then run this as root from /
Code: Select all
du -hx --max-depth=1

"top" shows me current memory usage. How do I free memory? eg. Killing processes.
Re: How to free up memory on 256mb model?
In general, its very dangerous to kill processes in Linux - there may be unintended consequences.
Although, if a process is just sitting there, it wont be using much RAM - it will all be swapped out - if you have a swap disk enabled.
Look up swap disks, and the 'kill' command
