Hi, I just updated my backup server from Fedora 35 to 37. After the upgrade, I tried to run amflush.
The session running amflush was killed by systemd-oomd as per these lines in the journal: systemd[1]: session-5.scope: systemd-oomd killed some process(es) in this unit. systemd-oomd[7544]: Considered 4 cgroups for killing, top candidates were: systemd-oomd[7544]: Path: /user.slice/user-0.slice/session-5.scope systemd-oomd[7544]: Memory Pressure Limit: 0.00% systemd-oomd[7544]: Pressure: Avg10: 56.78 Avg60: 40.05 Avg300: 14.53 Total: 53s systemd-oomd[7544]: Current Memory Usage: 30.0G systemd-oomd[7544]: Memory Min: 0B systemd-oomd[7544]: Memory Low: 0B systemd-oomd[7544]: Pgscan: 14100751 My workaround was to "systemctl edit systemd-oomd" and add "--dry-run" as argument (https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd-oomd.service.html). A "systemctl cat systemd-oomd" now has this override appended: # /etc/systemd/system/systemd-oomd.service.d/override.conf [Service] ExecStart= ExecStart=/usr/lib/systemd/systemd-oomd --dry-run After "systemctl restart systemd-oomd", this makes the log look like this when running amflush: systemd-oomd[13095]: oomd dry-run: Would have tried to kill /sys/fs/cgroup/user.slice/user-0.slice/session-3.scope with recurse=true systemd-oomd[13095]: Considered 4 cgroups for killing, top candidates were: systemd-oomd[13095]: Path: /user.slice/user-0.slice/session-3.scope systemd-oomd[13095]: Memory Pressure Limit: 0.00% systemd-oomd[13095]: Pressure: Avg10: 54.15 Avg60: 35.63 Avg300: 15.82 Total: 1min 25s systemd-oomd[13095]: Current Memory Usage: 29.9G systemd-oomd[13095]: Memory Min: 0B systemd-oomd[13095]: Memory Low: 0B systemd-oomd[13095]: Pgscan: 40620400 systemd-oomd[13095]: Last Pgscan: 40620400 And now amflush keeps running fine again. I'm not sure what the right solution is, I just quickly wanted to get it running again, and my itch is scratched. Maybe something needs to be tweaked in systemd-oomd, or the amanda package should include something to exempt amanda from systemd-oomd, or something else. Yours, Uwe
