There is a significant memory leak in 6.19rc6 on the RB433. We have disabled all packages unneeded packages, but it appears that we still lose about 5MB of memory per hour until the system reboots with a kernel panic
This router has previously been running for about 3 years with no issues.
We have not updated firmware from 3.10 to 3.18 because we bricked a previous router doing so.
We are going to test 6.19rc9 to see if it is any better.
I tried 6.19rc but mine kept bombing out in the sense of not booting the network connections?? it would boot but no link on network??has anybody else had this
Memory leak on RB433 continues in 6.19rc9. It may have slowed. It appears to be related to network traffic throughput. The more traffic, the faster the leak. Has anyone else experienced this.
I replaced the RB433 with a RB2011UiAS-2HnD-IN and am seeing the same memory leak under 6.19rc9. So the problem seems to be with the mips be build. I have uninstalled everything except the combined ROS package and NTP. Disabled wireless too.
There also is an issue with the watchdog timer which prevents the system from booting properly. Have seen this same issue with RB433. For now I disable the watchdog and all is well, but would prefer to have it running.
Systems hit about 70% of available memory and then get kernel panic.
We don’t have any particularly long IP filters, are not running any scripts, and are not doing anything that we have not done for the last 3 years.
Problem seems to have appeared around 6.18. May have to downgrade to 6.15 which seemed reasonably stable.
On CCR when you disable an ethernet interface and then reboot the router the interface becomes enabled when it restarts even though it shows as greyed out in winbox like it is disabled, this is a problem if you have 1000 PPPOE sessions coming in all at the same time after a reboot, if you disable an interface and reboot the router the interface should stay disabled.
ok what happened irst is i updated from 6.18 to 6.19 rc … It booted up and was working… I deleted a setting and the whole mikrotik interface crashed…now before you say user error. I did the sam thing on 6.18 without anything happening. After the crash the link lights on my x86 box wasnt coming on. I then proceded to put a keyboard and mouse onto the system which was running and i could log in but didnt have any ethernet links when doing the print command.
After hard resetting it came back on but only for a minute or two and then went bonkers again and lost link. When this happens you cant ping the router at all and it doesnt pick up in winbox.
With the hard reboot i loaded 6.18 and rebooted…been running for more than n week now just on that firmware and settings no problem.
WHat files do you need??? is there somewere were i can see what the error is???
