Server hangs out for ran out of the swap space.


hello ev1;

for five day in a row my server hangs out ( i cant enter on it, but still with ping) because is ran out of the swap space always at the same time. Is a server with 2 Gb of ram and four 4 Gb of swap and only receive http request

Could be a memory problem, yesterday i disable the omm-killer what i saw it in the logs but with not luck, the server continue hangs every night.

I'll ask to the DC a change of the physicals mem .

Have anyone any idea to stop the hangs ?.

well, you've got to figure out what is using all of that memory before any solution can be made.

with 2GB of memory, you should *NEVER* be swapping unless you're doing something very memory intensive.

watch top, sorted by memory usage through the day & see what's using all your memory, then post the results back here.
