Hi everyone, I am working with cgroups on OpenSuse (over VirtualBox) and I cannot disable the OOM killer by writing to the file memory.oom_control:
echo 1 > memory.oom_control -bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument
I can change the memory limit and several other settings by writing to the appropriate files (like memory.limit_in_bytes) but I could never write to file memory.oom_control although I am root. I saw someone posted a similar issue a few days ago but there was no reply... I have copied below the sequence of command I am using. Any idea what could be the issue ? Thanks in advance for your help!
