Rui said he forced the situation (fsck being oom killed) by only leaving 90Mb of free memory - I'm not sure what the purpose of that was.
The purpose was that a few applications were crashing randomly, and fsck was one of them. Since I thought 90 MB was far more than enough to complete the operation, it was what I did...
Okay, I understand.
Remember that the fsck is on a vfat file system. If you want to reproduce it, build a 250GB vfat file system with 35000 files with 850MB and try it. As I also stated in other email of this thread, I have a openSUSE 11.0 x86_64 with 256MB of RAM that does not crash ( mainly for rsyncd ).I was just trying to identify a BUG that, it isn't.
Sorry, I missed that. Well, it sounds like a filesystem problem to me - it's interesting that there would be such an enormous difference in fsck though. I wouldn't expect many developments in vfat, are the two fsck versions the same? /Per -- /Per Jessen, Zürich -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
