Also, here are settings we use for 32-bit VMware servers which although had plenty of RAM (24GB), were exhibiting OOM errors: vm.min_free_kbytes = 16384 vm.overcommit_memory = 2 vm.overcommit_ratio = 75 vm.lower_zone_protection = 80 vm.swappiness = 60 Using these settings, our OOM problems have gone away.
