I've had two more instances, one on the 18th and one (multiple, actually) today. Both were triggered by copying a file as I'd described (from CLI, "ionice -c3 nice cp -a SRC DST"). Today's OOM events also killed a Firefox window for some reason. I captured an sosreport on both days, but last week's event showed I'd neglected to activate sysstat/sar. I am only uploading today's sosreport, but if the older one may be useful I can add it as well.
All of the recent OOMs had this reason, with a varying initial percentage: "due to memory pressure for /user.slice/user-1000.slice/user@1000.service being 99.00% > 50.00% for > 20s with reclaim activity" ** Attachment added: "SOS report and systemd-oomd status" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/1985887/+attachment/5619231/+files/sosreport_20220926.tar -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to systemd in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1985887 Title: systemd kills gnome-shell or gnome-terminal if gnome-terminal uses much memory (50% over 20s) Status in OEM Priority Project: Invalid Status in systemd package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: [Steps to reproduce] 0.
