I regularly see impressively low MemAvailable before earlyoom does SIGTERM, it's almost always swap available (amount of total that's not used) that's the defining factor. Well below 100MiB. This doesn't tend to last very long. Once memory is under this kind of pressure, so is swap, and as swap on zram is so fast, it gets to threshold fast as well. -- Chris Murphy _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
