OOM Killer

LeviLevi Member

So, I encountered this nasty bugger while performing fio test.

I have .sh file with content:

!/bin/bash

echo 'FIO random reads:' >> tst.log
./fio reads.ini --output-format=json >> tst.log
echo 'Done' >> tst.log

Results are:

FIO random reads:
Done

And a error in console:

./test.sh: line 4: 2335 Killed ./fio reads.ini --output-format=json >> tst.log

When running manually from console:

./fio reads.ini --output-format=json >> tst.log

Results are correctly saved in json format without any single error.

Logs shown this:

debian kernel: Out of memory: Kill process 2352 (fio) score 274 or sacrifice child

The question: why the hell OOM killer killing fio process launched from .sh script, but not touching it when I manually execute it?

    Maybe you need PHP selector?

    If we return to the original prophetic text ( https://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/157805/shred-hosting ), we see that

    PHP SELECTER

    written in capital letters is the intended form.

    I think that the use of capitals was meant to tell us something.

    • How can we help you if you don't show us the job file?
    • --debug=mem is your friend
    • try again with /bin/sh instead of a fat pervert monstrosity bash

    @jsg, what *nix are you running. /bin/sh is bash.

    [root@localhost ~]# ls -lah /bin
    lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 7 Mar 7 08:56 /bin -> usr/bin
    [root@localhost ~]# ls -lah /usr/bin/sh
    lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 4 Mar 15 07:02 /usr/bin/sh -> bash

    I don't care about the pervert habits of diverse aberrant linux distros. On a Unix - incl. sensible linux distros - /bin/sh is some kind of basic [d]ash shell. And I'll continue to refuse to have more than a short glance on anything starting with #![/usr/local]/bin/bash.

    Whatever, without his job file we can't offer any sensible advice anyway (other than stating the fact that using bash is sinful, pervert, and highly likely indicating that the user is a Harkonnen drinking the blood of cute baby cats).

    The problem must be in your file reads.ini. Given the many parameters that fio offers, I imagine that it could produce memory issues with certain combinations of parameters.

    In any case, I can confirm that the following works.

    First, create a script fio_reads.sh:

    #!/bin/bash
    
    echo 'FIO random reads:' >> tst.log
    fio reads.ini --output-format=json >> tst.log
    echo 'Done' >> tst.log
    

    This is basically what you gave, but I added the missing "#" and removed the "./" before "fio".

    Then create a file reads.ini:

    [global]
    name=randread
    ioengine=libaio
    iodepth=16
    bs=4k
    direct=0
    size=512M
    numjobs=4
    runtime=120
    group_reporting
    
    [randomreads]
    rw=randread
    

    Finally, do bash fio_reads.sh, and at the end of two minutes you'll have the file tst.log with the results.
