If it's a "fedora" bug, it's most likely related to the kernel where the OOM-killer lives which really makes it more of a kernel bug than a fedora bug as fedora kernels generally track upstream very closely. Given that both the version of Fedora you're using is no longer supported, at a minimum you should be running F-13 (or preferably F-14 since F-13 will lose maintenance in appx 2 months). If you have to stay on F-12 you might at least try building the latest 2.6.32-longterm kernel which is up to version 2.6.32.39. All that said - have you tried tracking memory usage of the machine leading up to OOM killer events? -Dave -- Sent via pgsql-performance mailing list (pgsql-performance@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-performance
