NASLite Network Attached Storage

I've had my NasLite-2 HDD running great since about mid June. About 2 weeks ago I increased the memory from 4GB to 8GB. On POST, the system checks all 8GB but NasLite-2 only sees 4GB. Also, I see alot of disk activity when nothing is being written to or copied from my system.

Here is what I am running:

1 - Asus P5K WS motherboard
1 - Intel Celeron 420 (1.6GHz)
4 - 2GB RAM DIMMs
1 - Intel PRO/1000 GT Network Adapter
1 - Brand X PCI VGA Adapter
1 - LSI MegaRAID SATA 300-8XLP 8-Channel Low-Profile RAID Controller Card
8 - Samsung 750GB SATA hard drives (32MB buffer)
1 - 1GB CF (boot drive)


Here is a copy of my System Message Log:

If anyone has any ideas, please let me know.

Thanks!

NASLite-2 kernel supports up-to 4G of RAM. You should remove anything above that since it will probably degrade your performance.

Thanks Tony, I'll do that. Is the next version going to support memory above 4GB?

32bit systems generally can't access more than 4GB max. Why would you use that much ram in a NAS with no GUI anyway? Anything over 1GB is complete overkill... I use 256 MB and it seems plenty fast to me.

For simple smallish disks, yep, you don't need much RAM.

For a 5TB RAID5, I'd say you need 1.5 or 2 GB just to do a fsck. My 2TB needs 1GB.
AND RAID5 can be SLOW if it's set for writethrough caching (due to missing battery), so you'll see a massive boost with big files going to the NAS if you've got the RAM.
Otherwise 1 or 2GB is probably best bang for buk for big volumes.
