So... you're saying that the problem may be that some programs may be more memory hungry than others, witch can have worst results on a 64 bits OS. So this mau be a general Linux issue, and not openSUSE specific.
It's a general computing issue. It has nothing to do with linux in any way. A 64 bit value consumes twice as much space as a 32 bit value.
Man, It never crossed my mind I would need 512MB of RAM to perform a file system check on a 850MB worth of files on a 100GB vfat file system.
You didn't. You said you left 90MB free for the fsck, and without swap, that's all you're going to get. Anders -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
