Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="------------E7405ADB836A96A8D2AB0EC2" Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --------------E7405ADB836A96A8D2AB0EC2 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I have a question regarding a busy box I recently updated to '2.4.2-ac20'. It has been running for several hours without any real problems until I started getting 'dmesg' entries like: Out of Memory: Killed process 30293 (httpd). Out of Memory: Killed process 32552 (mysqld). Not a quick check with 'top' shows: Mem: 771440K av, 396060K used, 375380K free, 0K shrd, 4972K buff Swap: 379416K av, 345000K used, 34416K free 337128K cached I have also attached my "/proc/meminfo" & "/proc/slabinfo" details. Basically they all show the server has 370MB of free physical memory but its using lots of swap space and OOM is killing processes. What gives?
