Hi PeP, gfs2_fsck only gives this message if it tries to allocate memory (i.e. malloc) for an in-core bitmap and the malloc fails. Are you sure that swap is turned on? On several occasions I've tried to figure out ways to reduce the memory requirements of gfs_fsck and gfs2_fsck, but I haven't found a way yet. Perhaps the problem is that it's just trying to allocate too big of memory chunks for bitmaps because of your 2G RG size. You could try specifying -r 1024 on mkfs.gfs2 and see if that helps.
