The thrashing hell has happened to me a couple of times during the last
few months. At one point I simply left the machine (it had been
thrashing for half an hour) and came back next day. Another time it
stopped after 5-10 minutes. This is on Ubuntu 6.10.

The Hardy Heron Alpha series is currently under development and contains
an updated version of the kernel. You can download and try the new Hardy
Heron Alpha release from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/hardy/ . You
should be able to test the new kernel using the LiveCD. If you can,
please verif
What makes you think the problem would be gone?
Does the LiveCD contain a C compiler? Otherwise, if you have access to
the new kernel, you could try my instructions above.
Let me spell it out. Install GCC with synaptic (or "apt-get install
gcc"). Fetch the test program I attached above. Then run

I was watching the system monitor at the time it happened. I wanted to
start a process and to monitor its memory usage pattern.
Before the process the user memory usage was at about 20% and
Hi,
Here is a simple shell script that will monitor you system's activities
into two log files, vmstat.log and top.log. It will by default run for
600 seconds, but one can specify the number of seconds to run for if
required. This can possible help you track down the rogue memory hogger.
vmstat.
Colin, note that this bug is not about tracking down faulty

This is still a problem in Ubuntu 7.10. I really think this is a major
defect in Ubuntu. Back in the old days there was a nice oom-killer that
simply just killed the process which lead to this situation. It's
incredible frustrating to have the machine go into swap-hell and the
