I've attached the kernel log (I'm afraid as a PDF as the forum won't let me attach a text file) - looks like the OOM reaper went after apache2 and syslog-journald (which, in the latter case, kept respawning).
But the processes are using relatively little memory (although, what is oath2-vault and how do I kill it? I assume it's related to ReadyNAS Vault but that is disabled and has never been enabled) - it looks to me like the majority of memory is used by buffers/cache (~1.2GB). I wonder what is causing that, and is there a way through the UI to tune it?
