Java VM crashed with insufficient memory "Native memory allocation (malloc) failed to allocate XXXX bytes for PSOldGen::expand_to_reserved"
Issue
- JVM crashed where
hs_err_pid<PID>.logcontained the following:
#
# There is insufficient memory for the Java Runtime Environment to continue.
# Native memory allocation (malloc) failed to allocate 4194304 bytes for PSOldGen::expand_to_reserved
# Possible causes:
# - not enough swap space left, or
# - kernel parameter MAXDSIZ is very small.
# Possible reasons:
# The system is out of physical RAM or swap space
# In 32 bit mode, the process size limit was hit
# Possible solutions:
# Reduce memory load on the system
# Increase physical memory or swap space
# Check if swap backing store is full
# Use 64 bit Java on a 64 bit OS
# Decrease Java heap size (-Xmx/-Xms)
# Decrease number of Java threads
# Decrease Java thread stack sizes (-Xss)
# Set larger code cache with -XX:ReservedCodeCacheSize=
# This output file may be truncated or incomplete.
#
# Out of Memory Error (psOldGen.cpp:313), pid=1117, tid=132

# JRE version: 6.0
# Java VM: Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (20.65-b04-jre1.6.0.21-rc1 mixed mode hp-ux-ia64 )
