Sounds like your kernel might think "forkxds" is creating a "fork bomb".  Too many sub-processes firing off in too short a time triggers this.  On one of my systems, I fixed it by editing /etc/security/limits.d/20-nproc.conf so that users are allowed ~10x more pids than normal.  This tends to prevent these mysterious "Killed" errors.

HTH?

Dear all,

I do not know if this is the right list and I would like to apologize if it is not.

We have repeatedly experienced xds crashes in machines running ubuntu 22.04.1 with the following message repeated several times at the INTEGRATE step

/usr/local/bin/forkxds: line 60:  3427 Done echo "$itask"

      3428 Killed                  | $amain

We are trying to process data from P13 at EMBL-Hamburg.

We are running XDS version Jan 10, 2022 BUILT=20220820

Any ideas ?
