PopoPlug Memory Limitations on Upgrading (8 replies)

Hi bodhi,

Are there practical limits on these upgrades for things like the PopoPlug E04 due to the memory size?

When I go through the forum posts, memory issues never seem to be mentioned, as though it's never an issue. However, I see on this device, even with a swap file, that all the memory is consumed on some occasions.

A typical example, even after enabling a swapfile and moving /var/log to /tmp/var/log the device is freezing during package upgrades, an example is shown below at the worst possible time:
update-initramfs: deferring update (trigger activated)
Processing triggers for man-db (2.8.5-2) ...
Processing triggers for dbus (1.12.20-0+deb10u1) ...
Processing triggers for libc-bin (2.28-10) ...
Processing triggers for initramfs-tools (0.133+deb10u1) ...
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-5.2.9-kirkwood-tld-1

As you can see, it's actually frozen during the boot image creation, unfortunately, it's hung at this point so I'm going to have to kill it.
