[Bug 27441] Re: Thrashing hell

[Anders Rune Jensen]

This is still a problem in Ubuntu 7.10. I really think this is a major
defect in Ubuntu. Back in the old days there was a nice oom-killer that
simply just killed the process which lead to this situation. It's
incredible frustrating to have the machine go into swap-hell and the
only thing you can do is wait ~30 min or  restart the computer. The
problem should be reproducable on all machines, there's a test case, so
why is there no interest in fixing this?

I have 2gb of memory so it's not like I have too little, so it is a
problem for more or less everyone if you have a process which leaks over
time (firefox, monodevelop comes to mind here).
