Restore failure

[Jonb]

I am trying to restore config with RRD graphs and on restore I get

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 86372783 bytes) in /usr/local/www/diag_backup.php on line 287

How large is the config file you are uploading?

The RRD data is compressed these days, if the config was taken from a recent snapshot it shouldn't be that large…

[Jonb]

the file is 630KB

Hmm, then it definitely shouldn't be running out of RAM.

If you don't mind, can you send a copy of that config file to me by PM or e-mail so I can test it?

[Jonb]

No prob what's your e-mail

Right I have figured it out the file was corrupt on the drive.

Thanks for you help

That would still be useful to see, if you can get the file off the drive. No restore should eat up all the RAM and if it fails in a way we can predict, we can protect against that error and fail gracefully.

When I uploaded it to the e-mail I saw it registered it as 50Megs.

That large wouldn't be unusual to fail. How old is that backup? The RRD data is compressed now, so it shouldn't be anywhere near that large.

Nope it just caught in a loop writing rubbish to the file. This was a machine error not pfsense.
