Do you have any tmpfs mounted that's larger than half your RAM? Your system repeatedly ran out of memory, but I can't spot any directly responsible process, so my next thought is that the memory was consumed by files on one or more tmpfs mounts. Hi Jan, it seems that my /tmp folder is mounted as tmpfs with 1.7G and there's another 1.7G mount on /dev/shm and 1.7G on /sys/fs/cgroup and a smaller 330M tmpfs on /run/user/1000 and one more for user 0.
That does seem a lot. None of that is part of my /etc/fstab, so the next question would be: how to change these mounts? Besides, I can't understand which job could have used up so much memory, I was asleep at the time and the regular cron job was finished at 4:01AM. Would you have an idea for further investigations on the particulars? Best wishes, Jeanette -------- When you need someone, you just turn around and I will be there <3
