hello again. from FC4 test 1, i can see from output of dmesg below .. my curiosity is the last line, why it has out of memory and have killed the named process by itself? my named resolves fine though. any hints please. thanks in advance. milver nisay Active:84893 inactive:1273 dirty:0 writeback:0 unstable:0 free:1382 slab:39465 mapped:84977 pagetables:718 DMA free:2088kB min:88kB low:108kB high:132kB active:4564kB inactive:48kB present:16384kB pages_scanned:143 all_unreclaimable? no lowmem_reserve[]: 0 495 495 Normal free:3440kB min:2804kB low:3504kB high:4204kB active:335008kB inactive:5044kB present:507884kB pages_scanned:10644 all_unreclaimable? no lowmem_reserve[]: 0 0 0 HighMem free:0kB min:128kB low:160kB high:192kB active:0kB inactive:0kB present:0kB pages_scanned:0 all_unreclaimable? no lowmem_reserve[]: 0 0 0 DMA: 6*4kB 0*8kB 1*16kB 0*32kB 0*64kB 0*128kB 0*256kB 0*512kB 0*1024kB 1*2048kB 0*4096kB = 2088kB Normal: 158*4kB 9*8kB 29*16kB 9*32kB 1*64kB 1*128kB 1*256kB 1*512kB 1*1024kB 0*2048kB 0*4096kB = 3440kB HighMem: empty Swap cache: add 0, delete 0, find 0/0, race 0+0 Free swap = 0kB Total swap = 0kB Free swap: 0kB 131067 pages of RAM 0 pages of HIGHMEM 2353 reserved pages 45250 pages shared 0 pages swap cached Out of Memory: Killed process 22043 (named).
