This is already happening anyway. The idea is that earlyoom will just do it slightly earlier so we have a responsive system when the failures happen. Unlike a lot of the other options, earlyoom is just doing what the kernel does, just slightly earlier so that the system doesn't become unresponsive. That is *hugely* valuable for sysadmins to be able to recover the systems without power cycling. As a sysadmin myself, I *hate* power cycling servers because it takes forever and its a lot bigger loss of productivity (and potentially money!). -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth! _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
