[FAQ] fatal error: runtime: out of memory

[问题澄清]

TiDB无法启动,tidb_stderr.log报错:

fatal error: runtime: out of memory

[原因分析]

用户修改了操作系统的内存使用策略

echo 2 > /proc/sys/vm/overcommit_memory

[解决方案]

设置echo 0 > /proc/sys/vm/overcommit_memory

[参考案例]

修改内存使用策略导致 TiDB自动下线后 无法启动

[学习引申点]

linux下overcommit_memory的问题

我这边在执行 tiup playground 也遇到了类似问题,修改内存策略之后依然有问题:
