In snac on an ancient Raspberry Pi news, I switched from XFS to Btrfs and my memory pressure issues are now a thing of the past. As a bonus I can use snapshots for backups instead of taring up the many small files that snac generates (it has no traditional database).

I tried tuning various parameters but after some reading came to the conclusion that lots of small files with very little RAM is about the worst case scenario for XFS.

    You're going to hear a lot of dumb takes about the 32 bit discussion.

    Here's what you need to know directly from the source:

    If you prefer the written word, I depend on gamingonlinux.com and lwn.net for the correct details.

      Would anyone happen to know how to stop XFS using up to 100MB of memory on my 256MB RAM Raspberry Pi and causing apps to get OOMKilled? This isn’t cache, this is actual used RAM. Searching online is coming up blank. I’m happy to move to a different filesystem if necessary.

          Time for another blog post, about hosting a fediverse instance on my ancient Raspberry Pi. Obviously I had to share it on the fediverse.

            Here's a blog post on setting up Alpine Linux on my old 256MB Raspberry Pi in diskless mode and having it host a static site (and now my blog). I'll write up another on how I got Snac installed to have it host my fediverse presence over the next few days. Enjoy!

              For those on Fedora 42 KDE, with AMD GPUs:

              I've noticed that the kernel version 6.14.8-300.fc42.x86_64 (64-bit) completely freezes my system due to some GPU issues.

              If you have this bug too, share info here: bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.c

              However kernel 6.14.6-300.fc42.x86_64 (64-bit) works just fine.

              Just wanted to raise awareness if someone else has same issue. Just boot to older kernel and things should be ok!

              Full specs:

              Operating System: Fedora Linux 42
