Hi, I'm late on this (been on vacation :D), so sorry if I repeat stuf that has been mentioned already. But as I had a similar issue half a year ago I thought I might throw the word 'slab' in. In my case it had been a berzerk process acquiring more and more memory from the kernel slab without freeing it ever again. Check 'slabtop' and or /proc/slabinfo for huge usage. In my case it had been 'kmalloc-4096' Cheers, Pit Greg Freemyer wrote:
All,
I just thought this was worth sharing.
I've got the 128GB RAM PC I built up last spring (much discussion on this list).
I don't have a swap space setup because who could ever use that much RAM.
The OOM background tool just kicked in and killed one of my tasks!
Top agrees and says I only have 10GB of RAM free (after killing my task).
Setting up swap space now!
