Firstly, I will explain:
My FreeNAS box currently only has 2Gb of RAM. Now whilst I know this is below the recommended amount I don't currently have the option to make any changes to it.
Saying this, generally speaking it runs ok, that with the exception of when it is transcoding video files via Plex.
So far, I have only Plex running (no other plugins), and I've disabled all services with the exception of CIFS and SMART. I've also disabled the DLNA service of Plex (saving about 150Mb of RAM).
I have attached a screenshot of the running processes.
So, for a system purely for light storage use and mainly playing video files of various formats, what can I do to reduce the memory usage?
