thanks
Hi Jari,
When the kernel freezes, can you please check if you can use the Magic SysRq
key? (If so, that might indicate that the machine is just heavily swapping
instead of completely hung)
On x86, this can be done from a text console (Switch to a text VT with
Ctrl-Alt-F1) by pressing:
Alt-SysRq-?
(in that order, and sysrq is the print screen key)
If the kernel is still alive, it will respond with a help message. You can try
executing an OOM kill, which will kill the program using the most RAM, with
Alt-SysRq-f
Please check if that will help you recover from rtorrent hanging your kernel.
Thanks,
--Quentin
