Solo2 ram memory almost full

[shilev]

Hi, i noticed that when i'm using my samsung internal hdd sometimes used ram memory is more than 95%. Is this normal? Solo2 has 1gb ram so it's quite strange. I made swap just in case.

This happens when i'm ftp movies to disc or when i'm downloading movies from tsmedia plugin. On simple timer recording i think there's no such big memory consumption.

Is there maybe some plugin which terminates processes that use a lot of ram, like task killer?

I think this is possible becouse if plugin mast download and record and doing other procces in one time he eat big number memory.
I think is no plugin on VU+ like task killer on mobile .
I think enigma manage memory on box.

Here is some kind of solution, type in telnet:

echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches

Ram has fallen from 96% to 24%

So cache is the one that takes big part of ram

Here we go again. RAM is to be used! Not to be free! Search on forum, what is RAM on enigma2 for.

This is a way to slow the system. RAM Cache is for speed up the box!

But is it normal that 1gb ram box is 96% full?

Yes, it is normal. Your system is using ram for his needs (cache).
This is my system in these conditions: Recording a channel and watching it from Media Player (Like timeshift) .

Linux works very differently to Windows in that it will always use as much memory as possible, freeing up portions when needed for other tasks. so yes your reading is perfectly normal.
