xz or 7z killed after few minutes
hi,
I'm trying to backup my subversion database (turnkey 14 Redmine) through
svnadmin dump /srv/repos/svn > repos_svn.dump which generate a 357 Mo file.
if I use xz -9 or 7z -mx9 on that file, after 15% of the file processed, xz or 7z is killed :-)
if I use xz -8 or 7z -mx 8 file are processed correctly.
Strange isn'it ?
regards,

Your guess was right !
Reply 1My first guess is that your server is running out of resources
Reply 2And when that happens the kernel OOMKiller will kill the process that is using the most RAM. Although as I say it's only a guess. I suggest that you check on resource usage while it is running.
hi,
Added 512Mo to server and xz -9 succeded.
Thanx for quick answer.
have a nice day.
