'dmesg' right after booting the system, no error shown
yes, it's just a diagnostic warning that the network is allocating memory faster than the VM system is reclaiming it. Everything should recover and run to completion. You should be able to make the warning go away by increasing /proc/sys/vm/min_free_kbytes. Created attachment 19096 [details]
kernel config, 2.6.26.7
after a fresh boot: 'cat /proc/sys/vm/min_free_kbytes' outputs something just over 5MB did: echo 8192>/proc/sys/vm/min_free_kbytes then the same backup transfer over the gigabit network and now I don't get any warning message(s) and the swap space did get used (just ~220kB, but w/o any problems) THANK YOU!, next time you come to Puerto Rico I'll buy you a couple of beers. :) |
