サーバを運用し始めてから初めて見るエラーで謎です。(・ω・;)

調べてみた結果は以下のようです。

メモリ不足

なんだと・・?今までメモリ不足になったことが無いのに

# topコマンドで確認

KiB Mem : 2097152 total, 1605204 free, 288200 used, 203748 buff/cache
KiB Swap: 4194304 total, 4192616 free, 1688 used. 1656340 avail Mem

# freeコマンドでも確認

[root@www ~]# free

total used free shared buff/cache available
Mem: 2097152 309008 1585180 740 202964 1636562
Swap: 4194304 1688 4192616

あれ、メモリを全然余裕じゃね?

謎です。格安サーバ(VPS)なので何が起こるかわかりません。

とりあえず、サーバアプリを一旦落としたりしてメモリを確保して再度yum updateを実行

問題なく?アップデート終わりました。
