Out of Memory issue

[Andrew.Bridgeman at corusgroup.com]

Hello Mark,
                       Thanks for the reply. We run ls Dyna software on
these machines which is what takes up most of the memory when it is running
jobs. I had a quick look around and it seems that if i set the
lower_zone_protection value in /proc/sys/vm to 100 it may fix my issue. The
problem i have now is that the file does not currently exist in
/proc/sys/vm and i cannot create the file in there either manually or by
running " echo 100 > /proc/sys/vm/lower_zone_protection. Does anyone know
how i can get this value set so it picks it up when the machine is
rebooted.

Regards

Andrew Bridgeman

P.s In answer to your questions i am not aware of any issue with Ls Dyna
leaking memory and i am sure that the system has not been comprimised.

It's rather unlikely that the o/s has such a severe memory leak. More
likely is that you're running software that's leaking like a sieve. What
large processes are you running? Or, for that matter, is there any
possibility that your system's been compromised, and the malware is running
out the resources?
