| |
Hi all,
I get the message "kernel: Warning - running *really* short on DMA buffers" frequently with medium to heavy disk i/o (running several tar and/or moving huge directories).
Can anybody give me some hints what the reason for this might be and how to avoid this condition.
Do you need more information (I'm using only SCSI disks attached to a Symbios controller: <875> rev 0x26 on pci bus 0 device 11 func tion 0 irq 15)? I even can't find this error string in the kernel sources.
Thanks for your help.
Ado
