Linux 2.2.1 + raid0145-012899 : Out of memory

1999-02-15 Thread Peter Tillemans
Hello, We systematically get a 'Out of memory' error trying to make a 32Gb filesystem on a RAID5 disk. This problem did not occur using the linux-2.1.131ac9 + raid0145-121499 combination. During the creation of the superblocks, mkfs slows down and stops with "out-of-memory". How many copies

just to add one more point, i was waiting for 2.2 to stabilize before moving the RAID driver to 2.2.x. But when patches began floating around porting the RAID driver to 2.2.x, i rather decided to move the 'official' patch to 2.2.x too. This resulted in at least two bogus 'RAID-problems' so far:
