Problems after 1.3.2 update

After the latest update the system becomes unresponsive after some time. It looks like the amount of file descriptors rapidly rises at one point and then the system starts to hang.
Swap seems to be going crazy too

Running ZimaCube N100 with 16GB RAM

Does it disconnect from your computer and router as well?

What you posted is interesting to me because I was experiencing system hangs a while ago. Not so much recently. But I have Netdata tracking everything remotely so if I experience it again I’ll check out the swap.

What did you mean by “file descriptors” though? Which value are you using to measure that?

It completely locks up. No connection to router or PC anymore.
What did you do to resolve it?
File descriptors is measure of opened but not yet closed write operations as I understand it. So that would mean some program is trying to write/or just opening writes without writing and swamping the system. This is also measures in Netdata. You can search for it.
Looks like a bug tbh.

What I do experience:

  • CLI over SSH can become very slow and delayed, but later it works again. No crash and no reboot was necessary
  • Initial Time Machine backup (big, many GBs) is interrupted every morning because network connection to server was lost

Same here,the system crashes after a while, it needs a urgent update or downgrade it to the previuos version,btw anyone knows how to do it go back to 1.3.1?

You can do that by booting into the second slot.
See for reference: ZimaOS System Quick Recovery Guide | Zimaspace Docs

For reference: I did exactly that and haven’t had a crash since that point.

I have a different problem. My drive, which is connected via USB, sometimes disappears or gets unmounted. I didn’t have this issue in the previous version.

A complete lockup + disconnect is basically what I was experiencing.

Eventually the Zima team sent me a replacement Cube, which seemed to stop most of the crashes. But after that I still experienced the same issue when using ZeroTier to connect to the Cube, and also when using virtual machines, which is what makes me think it’s a RAM issue.

The only thing I’ve done to resolve it is hard resets when it crashes, and avoid ZeroTier and ZVM… Not really a solution. I’ve just been hoping it gets worked out eventually.

Thanks, in my case even doing it so, it finally crash it, Just waitin for the fix sadly

Hi, everyone here!

Try this: About the issue third party machine upgrading to 1.3.2, we have a new raucb file for upgrading

Does this also apply to genuine Zima hardware? I’m running ZimaOS on a ZimaCube…

Checking back in regarding that. I experienced another crash last night. So it maybe is not based on ZimaOS version

Are you using Zimacube and ZimaOS v1.3.2, then crash? what apps are you using?

Yes. I will attach a screenshot with installed apps:


Before the freeze I get massive Swap usage:

It seems like the s6-svscan process could be an issue here? What is that linked to?
