      Currently attempting to modify the OOM Killer for this particular process:

      echo -15 > /proc/19582/oom_adj
      

      And yes, 19582 is the yum process 😉

          I wonder if this could be a factor....

          # cat /proc/sys/vm/swappiness
          0
          

          Doh!

            I'm watching swap get used this time, that's a good sign. It wasn't getting touched before. I'm hopeful.

              Still running after thirty minutes and now it is really hitting the swap, so I have a feeling that this is going to work.

                            Yes, very production.

                            All good now, just took some manual labour.

                                I'm guessing the two hours you spent on it was less expensive than rebuilding it.

                                        did that include the time it was just running? Well I suppose if you were onsite doing nothing else waiting for this to finish.. that would be a huge bad bill.

                                          I worked on the box all night. There were a LOT of issues, this was just one at the tail end.

                                            I'm glad that I do not get the bill for that one!
