I ran into an out of memory problem. The first mention of it in the kernel log is "mysqld invoked oom-killer". I haven't run into this before. I do have a swap partition but I don't activate it based on something I read previously that I later found out was wrong so I suppose I should activate it. Is fstab the way to do that? I have a commented line in there for swap.
Can anyone tell how much swap this is: /dev/sda2 80325 1140614 530145 82 Linux swap / Solaris If it's something like 512MB, that may not have prevented me from running out of memory since I have 4GB RAM. Is there any way to find out if there was a memory leak or other problem that should be investigated? - Grant
