Subject: OOM killer in 2.4.15pre1 still not 100% ok
Date: Thu, 22 Nov 2001 17:22:47 -0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <01112217224700.01298@manta> (raw)

Today I saw OOM killer in action for the very fist time.
Just want to inform that it still not 100% ok (IMHO):

I reconfigured my text box for NFS root fs operation
and turned off swap. The box has 128M RAM.

At the time of OOM I was in Midnight Commander on normal vc (not xterm).
X+KDE (Kmail and a couple of Konquerors) was loaded but I didn't work
in X a that moment.

OOM killed top. I have top permanently running on vc10.
I presume it was neither big nor newly fired process so I don't think it was 
right candidate for kill.

Last top screen is below.
(How nice: OOM killer taking snapshots of processes at kill time,
i.e. aids in its own debugging! :-)
(Oh, nice idea: dump top-like info in syslog after each OOM kill?)
