Dear Linux-MM, Seems that any i386 PAE machine will go OOM just by running a few processes. To reproduce: sh -c 'n=0; while [ $n -lt 19999 ]; do sleep 600 & ((n=n+1)); done' My machine has 64GB RAM. With previous OOM episodes, it seemed that running (booting) it with mem=32G might avoid OOM; but an OOM was obtained just the same, and also with lower memory: Memory sleeps to OOM free shows total (mem=64G) 5300 64447796 mem=32G 10200 31155512 mem=16G 13400 14509364 mem=8G 14200 6186296 mem=6G 15200 4105532 mem=4G 16400 2041364 The machine does not run out of highmem, nor does it use any swap. Comparing with my desktop PC: has 4GB RAM installed, free shows 3978592 total. Running the "sleep test", it simply froze after 16400 running... no response to ping, will need to press the RESET button. --- On my large machine, 'free' fails to show about 2GB memory, e.g. with mem=16G it shows: root@zeno:~# free -l total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 14509364 435440 14073924 0 4068 111328 Low: 769044 120232 648812 High: 13740320 315208 13425112 -/+ buffers/cache: 320044 14189320 Swap: 134217724 0 134217724 --- Please let me know of any ideas, or if you want me to run some other test or want to see some other output. Thanks, Paul Paul Szabo psz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.maths.usyd.edu.au/u/psz/ School of Mathematics and Statistics University of Sydney Australia ----- Details for when my machine was running with 64GB RAM: In another window I was running cat /proc/slabinfo; free -l repeatedly, and output of that (just before OOM) was: + cat /proc/slabinfo slabinfo - version: 2.1 # name <active_objs> <num_objs>
