Hello Mark, Thanks for the reply. We run ls Dyna software on these machines which is what takes up most of the memory when it is running jobs. I had a quick look around and it seems that if i set the lower_zone_protection value in /proc/sys/vm to 100 it may fix my issue. The problem i have now is that the file does not currently exist in /proc/sys/vm and i cannot create the file in there either manually or by running " echo 100 > /proc/sys/vm/lower_zone_protection. Does anyone know how i can get this value set so it picks it up when the machine is rebooted. Regards Andrew Bridgeman P.s In answer to your questions i am not aware of any issue with Ls Dyna leaking memory and i am sure that the system has not been comprimised. |+--------------------------+---------------------------------------------| || <m.roth2006@xxxxxxx> | | || Sent by: | To: General Red Hat Linux | || redhat-list-bounces@red| discussion list <redhat-list@xxxxxxxxxx> | || hat.com | cc: | || | Subject: Re: Out of Memory | || 17/01/2008 15:13 | issue | || Please respond to | | || General Red Hat Linux | | || discussion list | | || | | |+--------------------------+---------------------------------------------| Andrew, >Date: Thu, 17 Jan 2008 14:12:31 +0000 >From: Andrew.Bridgeman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx > >I currently have a problem with our Redhat Machines running out of memory >and automatically killing the main process that is running on the machine >at the time. Below is my kernel version and the text from the messages <snip> It's rather unlikely that the o/s has such a severe memory leak. More likely is that you're running software that's leaking like a sieve. What large processes are you running? Or, for that matter, is there any possibility that your system's been compromised, and the malware is running out the resources? mark -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list ********************************************************************** This transmission is confidential and must not be used or disclosed by anyone other than the intended recipient.
