> This means you have 'no overcommit', so the amount of memory is limited by
> overcommit_ratio + swap. The default value for overcommit_ratio is 50%
> RAM, and as you have no swap that effectively means only 50% of the RAM is
> available to the system.

> Once the committed_as reaches the limit, it's game over.
>
> There are different ways to fix this, or at least improve that:
>
> (1) increasing the overcommit_ratio (clearly, 50% is way too low -
> something 90% might be more appropriate on 30GB RAM without swap)
>
> (2) adding swap (say a small ephemeral drive, with swappiness=10 or
> something like that)
