I wondered why my memory had drained even immediately after rebooting and had a quick look in htop. Syncthing seems to be spawning instances indefinitely.
Look at this htop dump
My cronjob is
@reboot /usr/local/bin/syncthing
There aren’t any files to update so it isn’t active jobs.
Any ideas?
I just updated to latest on both ends and still it is doing it on my server spawning countless ones.
Syncthing does not spawn itself, so it’s something you’ve set up is whats causing this
Given that virt and res is exactly the same, I’m guessing you’re looking at threads and not processes. I don’t see that being a problem.
They have different PIDs…?
It depends on what exactly it’s showing. Threads have PIDs on Linux. It’s complicated. 
By default htop shows individual threads, apparently. Use H to toggle this.
