Thanks for the links, pretty helpful but this server is the only
production web server we have. I don't really like the idea of
recompiling the kernel with a new option...
I don't really understand why we are getting this error since there is
plenty of Inactive RAM in the system (2G inactive on a 4G server with
amd64). Is this a "normal" error in this case?
Thank you for your quick reply.
