S1SA 750GB drive MFS_FTP Trouble

[mikey]

Greetings
I have a old life time S1SA tivo I Put a 750 GB drive in and a cachecard with 512mb and have been using it as the kids video sever. It has a 350 or so shows on it all inserted via mfs_ftp the drive is about 1/2 full. When I try to insert another show I the infamous mempool error and a reboot. I tried setting the mempool with export TIVOSH_POOLSIZE=16773120 in rc.sysint.author which helped for a few more (perhaps 50) shows. I know that this is an older problem but did anyone ever find a solution.
thanks,
Mikey

You might try the mempool size specified here. Yours (16M) may be too big. You might also try the p2.tcl also linked from that thread.

Thanks Jamie.
I forgot about p2.tcl I set the mempool to that size because newer installs of tivowebplus suggest it, I think. I do have plenty of swap on the drive. I will reduce it tonight first and if that does not work then try p2.tcl.
Thanks,
Michael

export TIVOSH_POOLSIZE=2097152
that did it. Thanks.

Out of curiosity how can my mempool be to big?
