Re: Out of Memory

[Alejandro Guerrieri]

I don't think it's bearerbox's fault. It would involve major memory leaks and I don't think that's the case.

 

It looks like you are not short of memory (360Mb out of 1 Gb is more than enough). Maybe you don't have swap space enabled? Please run "top" again and look for the a line like this:

 

Swap: 1052248k av,    3512k used, 1048736k free                  304424k cached

 

If it's not there or it shows 0k size, it's not activated or at least not working as expected. In that case, when you approach your memory limit, you'll start to experience problems.

 

If swap is ok, then the problem should be elsewere, start with "ps auxw | more" and try to look who's eating all thos megabytes of RAM.

 

Hope it helps,

Hello All!!

 

This has happened to me quite a few times now:

 

From message log:

Jul 24 04:54:38 movil kernel: Out of Memory: Killed process 6186 (bearerbox).

 

After this the whole system hangs, you cannot telnet SSH or even use the console. Only hard reboot works.

 

Top command shows this normally:

 

CPU states:   0.3% user   0.3% system   0.0% nice   0.0% iowait  99.2% idle

Mem:  1030892k av,  662820k used,  368072k free,       0k shrd,   77780k buff

                    357484k actv,  121260k in_d,    8232k in_c

 

I have the feeling that his happens after the bearerbox,sqlbox,smsbox have being running for too long without a reset…

 

What do you guys think? Should I have something in my crontab to reset this services on a daily basis??

Has anyone ran into this kind of problem before??

 

 

Thank you!!

 

 

Alejandro
