hi, waiting for the index (104/121GB), i read his document http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.4/static/kernel-resources.html#LINUX-MEMORY-OVERCOMMIT and will do some changes before the next analyze: some comments: - the OOM did not kill the Postmaster but the Analyze-Job. - started with 24GB real and 18GB Swap - that must be enought! --> killed - will reduce shared_mem from 1GB to 512 MB - will reduce max_connections to 100 (but no user was actice, the applications are down) - will do "sysctl -w vm.overcommit_memory=2" (just did it) - may do "echo -1000 > /proc/self/oom_score_adj" but only if the other actions fail - the last steps for older kernels are not relevant, i'm running ubuntu 14.04 LTS, which is 3.13 i'll keep you informed. regards walter -- View this message in context: http://postgresql.nabble.com/autovacuum-worker-running-amok-and-me-too-tp5840299p5840772.html Sent from the PostgreSQL - general mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
