Stupid question: Do you have add swap space before running mke2fs? I've never seen such a massage with 2.0.29 or pre-2.0.31-2 and more than 4Mb RAM.
Hi,
I have seen Couldn't get a free page under 2.0.29 with a _defect_ SCSI disk connected to an NCR. mke2fs slowed down to a hlt and the kernel gave lots of free page complaints, but no SCSI message.
I have tested the (new :-( ) harddisk in 2 other machines afterwards and got SCSI Error.
Ciao Dietmar
