Configuration not working on Ubuntu

[amit08255]

Hi!
I am using nohang with following configuration -

soft_threshold_min_mem = 15 %
soft_threshold_min_swap = 14 %
soft_threshold_max_zram = 55 %
hard_threshold_min_mem = 30 %
hard_threshold_min_swap = 4 %

The issue is nohang service is running but not killing the applications and my system gets stuck. Please provide a configuration file or help me with the setting configuration in order to prevent the system hangs on low memory.

Hi! What is your kernel version? Do you actually enable nohang-desktop.service? How large is the swap space?

I am using Zorin OS 15.3. Swap size - 4 GB.
I fixed it by setting -

soft_threshold_min_swap = 0 %
hard_threshold_min_swap = 0 %

If you could suggest a good configuration, it would be great.
Thanks.

I've been using it on Ubuntu 20.04 on like 200 machines, and since a year on 22.04. It's pretty successfully (a lot, but not all) killing user jobs even on multi user machines, ranging from 8 GB memory up to 2 TB memory, all with zram enabled.
