Subjectoom-killer 2.6.8.1
Date
Hi all,

This is a high-volume NFS server running almost no user-space applications. It
serves a handfull of web server NFS clients from a ~700G XFS filesystem.

The machine has about 2.5 GB of RAM and 4G of swap (which is almost not in use
- i may use 5-10 MB total tops). CONFIG_HIGHMEM and CONFIG_HIGHMEM4G
enabled, SMP enabled, preempt disabled.

Today the OOM killer kicked in - it seemed that swap was almost unused at the
time (which is strange, as that should prevent the OOM killer from kicking
in).

Relevant part of the syslog follows (syslogd was killed too eventually):

Any ideas?

Try to disable swap? Tune magic VM settings? Any suggestions are highly
welcome.

Thank you very much,
