Out of memory error

[simoncn]

Welcome to the MinimServer forum and Happy New Year!

MinimServer is written in Java. By default, the Java VM allocates 25% of total memory for its heap (125 MB on your NAS) A large library can exceed this and this would produce an OutOfMemory error.

The solution is to set an option to tell Java to allocate a larger amount of heap memory. To do this, you need to create a file named minimstart.conf in the MinimServer/etc shared folder. This file should contain a single line as follows:

javaopts = -Xmx250m

After doing this, stop and restart MinimServer from Synology Package Center. MinimServer will now run with 250MB of heap space, which should hopefully be enough for your large library and also leave enough for other system requirements.
