I've had this situation happen on two occasions now. The first was a couple weeks ago and again this morning at just before 2015-01-18 :: 05:31. I can't display all the relevant log extracts because they make my post too big. (10000 characters for a post is not enough in a forum like this. Or, attachments should be allowed. Also, the preview allows around 15000.) Full error log extracts can be viewed at my server: mysql_error_information.txt The syslog logs indicates this error occurred when the Kernel determined that killing clamd (score 114) was not enough and decided to kill mysqld as well. I think it was related to memory, but can't find the cause I was hoping to see. To get the server running normally again, I needed to restart apache2 in addition to starting MySQL and clamav-daemon. I'm not quite sure what the cause of the error is, but I believe from looking at the log files (included below) that it has something to do with running out of memory. Overall, the server has been running fine before and in between. If anyone is familiar with reading these files, please help me interpret what the issue is so I can fix it. Cheers, Nap syslog below: Code: Jan 18 05:30:50 hostname kernel: Killed process 4647 (clamd) total-vm:516904kB, anon-rss:231980kB, file-rss:4kB Jan 18 05:30:58 hostname kernel: python invoked oom-killer: gfp_mask=0x201da, order=0, oom_score_adj=0 Jan 18 05:30:58 hostname kernel: python cpuset=/ mems_allowed=0 Jan 18 05:30:58 hostname kernel: CPU: 0 PID: 4801 Comm: python Not tainted 3.18.1-x86_64-linode50 #1 Jan 18 05:30:58 hostname kernel: 0000000000000000 ffff88007795f290 ffffffff817c1447 ffff88007795ec80 Jan 18 05:30:58 hostname kernel: ffffffff817bbc6d 00000000000201da 0000000000000000 ffffffff817c8e7a Jan 18 05:30:58 hostname kernel: ffffffff817c7e7f ffff880038f13858 ffff880038f13640 0000000000000010 Jan 18 05:30:58 hostname kernel: Call Trace: Jan 18 05:30:58 hostname kernel: [<ffffffff817c1447>] ?

My VPS has 2G memory. (1.95 actually) But it's been running fine for over 2 years now and the first time the problem occurred was a couple weeks ago. I'm hoping that someone can easily see what the cause was from the log files I linked. Cheers, Nap
