As you noted, this is a duplicate of other PRs and should be closed. The problem is that your system workload caused the system to run out of KVM (kernel memory). The solution is to increase the amount of KVM: > Unknown. One PR said > options VM_KMEM_SIZE_MAX=419430400 > decreased KMEM space. Another comment said that it increased it and thus > was incorrect. I'm confused about what you're claiming here. This option allocates 400M of KVM (default is 320, so this is an increase and will provide your kernel with a bit more memory with which to work). If 400 is still too low, try a larger value. Kris
