we could fool around with oom_adj or so but that won't solve the problem generally, and so I don't think it's really worth doing. I think the answer here is: 1) if you're going to run a system with only 2gb of ram, enable swap 2) if you don't want the default kernel behavior of "kill an arbitrary process" then manually set overcommit as appropriate What are your thoughts? Hi Ray, My choise is 1. But I'm so surprise because I thought I had a swap on! :O Actually, I don't know how is possible that I haven't it because I would never use the desktop without swap. Thanks for advice I'll fix it and hope it solve the problem. Well it seems that SWAP was turned on but I have to say it's something strange in there. I use LVM and have 3 root partitions...when I want to test other release "life" I use the old one. At last there is swap on but it seems it's something strange in there - I need some time to investigate it. Since RHEL 6.2 External Beta has begun, and this bug remains
unresolved, it has been rejected as it is not proposed as
exception or blocker.
Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if appropriate and relevant, in the
next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
