RE: Out of Memory, what's workaround...

["Abu M. Muttalib" <abum@xxxxxxxxx>]

I don't see any entry in /proc with what you have suggested..

 

there are only the following entries in /proc/sys/vm

 

    bdflush          max-readahead          min-readahead              page-cluster
    kswapd         max_map_count          overcommit_memory      pagetable_cache

 

Regards,

Abu.

overcommit_memory I guess.

I tried overcommit_memory=2, but system refused to fork any process, It was
not possible to even 'cat'. It showed out of memory.

I tried overcommit_memory=1, but not sure what kind of implication it will
have on system.
