      @karsten13 he should examine use and adjust as required…

      As @karsten13 noted, defaults to 1024 on a 2W (have done first boot post imaging). Will give it a go at 2048, likely a bit oversized.

        Moving to 64bit looks like might have helped. Up for 18 hours since rebuilding so far with my full calendar configuration.

        Observation - took about 30 min to boot through displaying the calendar. Load average getting up to 20.0+ during boot, assume swapping a lot via the slow SD card interface. So although looks more stable, much slower performance.

          Although moving to 64 bit made it more stable, still found it was going blank after a few days requiring the mm container restarted.

          Think the Zero 2W was too under powered for what I was trying to do. So have upgraded to a Pi 4.

              Installed the pi 4 today.

              Was getting up to 4 days on the 02W without it crashing, so will need to give it a week to know for sure.
