什麼是oom-kiler，為什麼會發生？我應該避免嗎？

我有一台伺服器現在每天多次“呼叫 oom-killer”！我從來沒有看到過，即使在網際網路上閱讀了大量論壇後，我仍然感到困惑：這是一個大問題嗎？為什麼會這樣？那是什麼原因呢？我應該避免嗎？如何 ？

當它發生時，它可能會發生 30 分鐘，有 1000 多個日誌行，如下所示：

這是一個大問題嗎？

可能是。

為什麼會這樣？

因為您的記憶體需求大於可用記憶體 + 交換。

那是什麼原因呢？

系統上執行的應用程序是可能的原因。

我應該避免嗎？

是的，您應該避免使用 OOM 殺手。

如何 ？

添加更多記憶體。如果做不到這一點，請配置交換。
