Overcommit
- I hade to tune this setting on a high traffic Postgresql server:
vm.overcommit_memory = 2
- 0 (default): as before: guess about how much overcommitment is reasonable,
- 1: never refuse any malloc(),
- 2: be precise about the overcommit
which kind of memory is installed?
lshw -short -C memory
