In issue 574 [0] there is a big discussion of the behavior of transmission in openwrt. To summarize it: * By default when transmission downloads, it may crash the router due to high memory consumption and OOB. That crash may lead to reboot or not. * To avoid that, some memory limitations can be set (such as disabling overcommit), and then transmission will exit, but the router would be functional.
I think the 2nd is quite a reasonable approach as it is more important to keep the router up and running than transmission (or any other individual service). However, a way to reduce the impact would be for netifd to restart transmission if crashed. Can that be done already, or inittab is the only option? regards, Nikos [0]. https://github.com/openwrt/packages/issues/574 _______________________________________________ openwrt-devel mailing list openwrt-devel@lists.openwrt.org https://lists.openwrt.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel
