We having some trouble with oom-killer and JBoss on Ubuntu Server. What I want to know is if there a way to avoid this with extra parameters passed to the JVM or to JBoss?
On the other hand, do you know guys how to add more RAM to an EC2 instance without changing the type of instance (actually it's a medium instance with only 1.7 GB)?
I'm posting the message I got from the command dmesg. What do these messages suggest?
Thank you!
