Hello,
Once again I turn to you guys for some help. I have a machine which runs a
cron job that does a virus scan on some directories each night. When the
machine was running RH 7.1 (Linus kernel sources) this was fine, but know that
I am running RH 9 (RedHat kernel sources) I keep getting out of memory
messages from the kernel and my process is killed. Remember, this did not
happen before.
A few questions:
o Is there some way to get memory usage stats when the process is killed,
other than running it by hand and watching it run while cat'ing
/proc/meminfo?
o Is there some tuneable value I need to tweak in the kernel?
o Is there something in the RedHat kernel sources that would cause this
to happen vs the Linux 'vanilla' sources?
Thanks in advance for any help you may be able to provide.
