Doesn't look good. :(
No it doesn't, but there has to be a reason why he's out of memory... What is
the output of free, before emerge? How about after it fails? Can you give
the output of the following commands:
cat /proc/sys/vm/swappiness
cat /proc/sys/vm/overcommit_memory
cat /proc/sys/vm/overcommit_ratio
$ cat /proc/sys/vm/swappiness
60
$ cat /proc/sys/vm/overcommit_memory
0
$ cat /proc/sys/vm/overcommit_ratio
50
$ free
total used free shared buffers
cached
Mem: 1035204 968140 67064 0 270248
538412
-/+ buffers/cache: 159480 875724
Swap: 996020 300 995720
Of course, this is the output of free _after_ the previous failed emerge
attempts.
It seems RAM really was caught and not released... I can try rebooting,
but there is the possibility that the box won't boot, and I'm away...
Is there some way to find what's eating RAM?
Also try using "vmstat 5" in one window and attempting the emerge in another
window.
What process is using the most memory right now? (Check top sorted by
memory).
