Gentoo VPS Crashing

Post by hakkuo23 »

One of my Gentoo VPSes is crashing lately, and I was wondering what steps I can take to debug and solve this issue, as NFO runs their managed Linux setups on Gentoo.

Thanks!

Also the VPS really only runs a TS3 server and MariaDB. I'm suspecting it's something to do with MariaDB and am upgrading to the latest version now, maybe they fixed a bug that I was being affected by.

The most common reason for VDS crashes that we see is an OOM condition. Have you noticed high memory usage?

Not really. It crashed at 4am EST when activity was extremely limited. I also have a 1GB swap on the VPS so it's extremely hard to believe that a OOM situation was the cause.

Unless there is some extreme memory leak, I'm really not sure.
