memory problem

Post by mmesh »

Hi!

I'm running sabnzbd on a VPS with limited memory so occassionaly I get this kind of messages:

Code: Select all

Error "[Errno 12] Cannot allocate memory" while unpacking RAR files
and similar ones for par2 repairs.

Is there a way to redo such items without the need to redownload all the files?
What I mean is: Is there an option to continue processing from the last successful processing point so that I don't have to manualy unpack and rename files?

P.S. Input for the sabnzbd provide couchpotato and sickbeard...

I don't which version you are using, but since 0.6.0 there's a "retry" button in the
History entry of a failed job. It will retry repair (if still needed) and unpack.

Hi!

Thanks, but...
I have SABnzbd Version: 0.6.15 installed and I can't find "retry" button anywhere. All I get is "Delete" icon in overlay when mouse over the entry.

It is possible that unrar doesn't give an error code back to SABnzbd
when it crashes due to a lack of memory.
Unless you set SABnzbd up to check the presence expected files afterwards,
it will assume that all went well and delete the rar files.

The basic problem is that your system doesn't have enough memory.
