Hi all

I am just doing a practice run at upgrading from zm v1.25.0(on Production enviroment) centos 5 to zm v1.30.4 cent os 6 on a spare machine and all is well but some of the cameras sources are showing as red on web ui but they are accessable from other machines and when i use a wget from the spare to get one of the images is collected ok.

I can see that in /dev/shm: 100% would it be i need to resize my swap partition for it to cope or is there something else i need to put my attention to?

Thanking you for your help in advance.

More ram will help. Or give the tmpfs more ram. Or reduce camera resolution. More swap willnot help.

Most Linux distros will use half of the RAM for tmpfs. Google is your best bet to get info on your version.
