Johannes, the problem happened again, twice, but i have little more info than before. Here is the first occurence, this night between 5:15 and 5:25: - this time i kept opened terminal from other server to this problematic one with htop running - when server went down i opened it and saw one process of one user running at the top and taking 97% of CPU (cgroup 1304) - everything was stucked so that htop didn't help me much - luckily, my new 'load check' script, which i was mentioning before, was able to kill apache and everything went to normal (success with it's very first version, wow ;) ) - i checked some other logs and everything seems to point to cgroup 1304, also kernel log at 5:14-15 is showing hard OOM in that cgroup: http://watchdog.sk/lkml/kern7.log Second time it happend between 12:01 and 12:09 but it was in the middle of the day so i'm not attaching any logs (there will be lots of other junk so it will be harded to read something from it). It was related to different cgroup than in first time. azur -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
