Re: [SLE] VM: killing process

Why can happen this error??

Aug 30 12:13:32 parato kernel: VM: killing process nscd Aug 30 12:13:32 parato kernel: VM: killing process gnu-pop3d Aug 30 12:13:32 parato kernel: VM: killing process bash

I don't know what is causing it and why the kernel decide to kill these processes.

You're running out of memory, including swap space. When the kernel gets desperate, it will choose random processes to kill off in order to free up some memory. It's less than ideal, but the alternative is to let the machine grind to a complete stop. -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq
