</H3>
A few months ago <A HREF="http://blog.kortar.org/">Matthew Treinish</A> wrote <A HREF="http://blog.kortar.org/?p=52">about debugging a gate failure</A>. He wrote an update about the conclusion to the triage efforts for the Out Of Memory failures on Neutron jobs. The cause of the failures was running out of memory but what was leading to the OOM failures wasn’t just limited to neutron. It was just that the neutron jobs ran with more services which used more memory which made failures there more common.<BR>
