Is low available Flash memory AND low available RAM normal with GL-B3000 Marble?

[jasongodev]

I usually have 8-10% (10-12MB) available Flash memory left with Marble. Is this normal?

Even the available RAM is quite low even without using VPN/TOR and other applications.

I know Marble has small Flash memory. I'm just a bit surprised that even with no Luci, VPN, or other extra plugins installed, the Flash memory seem to be maxed out by just the default stuff.

I have AdGuard Home enabled and have ~500 rules. From my trial and error, 500 rules is the limit to prevent "permanent freeze" in Marble that usually needs resetting everything just to escape the permanent freeze.

I also use the Firmware 4.7.15 in Marble.

I also do a local test.
This is the initial state after resetting the firmware, with approximately 40MB of free space.

After successfully enabling Tor, only about 8MB of flash memory is available.

To summarize, the B3000 has only 128MB of storage, with approximately 40MB of initial available memory. Given this hardware limitation, it is normal for the available RAM to be low when the Tor component is installed.

The issue with the enablement rule restrictions of AdGuard Home is likely similar—rooted in the limited memory of the device.
