We are currently using over-commit mode for swapping on our development
alpha running 4.0D. Once in awhile someone will run something up which will
push the machine over its swap space and processes will get killed off. Does
anyone know HOW it decides which processes to kill off? Largest? Newest?
Or whatever? We always identify the machine doing this by no one being able
to telnet into the machine as its killed off all the needed daemons. From
the console the machine looks fine, it just drops off the network...
