How much memory SnapRAID requires to run?

-Approximatively, the 32 bits version of SnapRAID requires 1 GiB of memory for 9 TB of data. -The 64 bits version requires 1 GiB of memory for 7 TB of data. +Approximatively, SnapRAID requires 1 GiB of memory for 16 TB of data.

If you have less memory than required, the recommended option is to install more memory in the machine.

-Otherwise you have to increase the block_size option in the configuration file. +Otherwise you have to increase the blocksize option in the configuration file. The memory occupation is inversely proportional at the select block_size. -For example, using "block_size 512", instead of the default 256, halves the memory occupation. +For example, using "blocksize 512", instead of the default 256, halves the memory occupation. But take care that using a bigger block size will also increase the amount of wasted space in the parity files.
