We are running Debian with 2.6.22-2-686-bigmem on Dell Blade 1955 hardware and get a Kernel Panic with oom + message that there are no processes left to kill: http://home.schottelius.org/~nico/unix/linux/oom_no_killable-2.6.22-1.jpeg Anyone an idea, what's the cause for that? This error happened on two of those machines, What I can see in our analysis done with munin is that the number of open inodes and inode table size decreased within some days from 40k to next to zero. Munin uses awk '{print "used.value " $1-$2 "\nmax.value " $1}' < /proc/sys/fs/inode= -nr to log those value (happened on both machines). Thanks for any hint and CC as usual, please.
