VPS Memory Parameters Comparison

[edeis]

I've been having a lot of troubles with my VPS lately. It's often running out of memory and killing processes. I am suppose to have 256MB guaranteed and 2GB burstable.

What should be the proper settings be for my VPS? Has my provider set them incorrectly? I have found this to be a popular discussion, but have not found a definitive answer.

I think that it would be very usefull if everyone posted what their memory settings are, and what sort of plan they are suppose to be on.

Please post your memory usage for your VPS. Let's compare!

oomguarpages

Hi,

I'm experiencing the same problems. My VPS (at flexserver.nl) is killing the MySQL, drweb and Qmail processes, all I can find in the QoS logs is the oomguarpages message. I have a very small configuration: 64MB memory, 2GB webspace, 50GB trafic. Bud it would be nice if it works.

I was thinking about upgrading the server tot 256MB memory, but now I've read this message I wil probably keep this problem.

If anyone can help us finding a solution for this problem, please do.
