When the system starts to run out of memoru, the OOM killer will kick in and try to identify who is gobbling up the memory. If it pick an innocent process, it could be seen as the system crashing.
That is possible with the default setting, yes.
However you can also configure it so the OOM_killer targets the process that caused the OOM condition and only that.
Care to share an example?
In my experience, the oom killer kills the _best_ process, which is the one that uses the most memory.
NOT!
My apologies Anton, but that _is_ my experience and that _is_ the default OOM killer behaviour. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (2.8°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - free dynamic DNS, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
