Explanation for "Killed Process"

Unix & Linux Asked by althor on October 31, 2021

The system has killed a process due to "Out of memory" but I cannot understand these messages.
I am not able to find the memory issue.

One Answer

The kernel killed:

Killed process 24355 (crawler) total-vm:9099416kB, anon-rss:7805456kB, file-rss:0kB

The process tried to allocate close to 9GB of RAM which is more than your system can handle.

Looks like you have just 2GB of RAM and you've got SWAP disabled. I'd say in advance that having SWAP in a situation like this is unlikely to help at all. If you have tasks which eat that much RAM you must have at the very least 12GB of RAM.
