| |
For the first time ever, I've started to see allocation problems with recent linux versions. Below is the output of 'uptime' 'cat /proc/version' and a trimmed 'dmesg'.
I have 8Mb of RAM and 24Mb of swap. The errors below took place during a kernel compile (which was 'nice'd by 5) that overlapped some fast network I/O (ftp over local LAN). I really doubt I ran out of swap though. Perhaps the system couldn't swap fast enough?
Any clues would be appreciated.
