Another possibility is to use a statically linked e2fsck, since the shared libraries chew up a lot of VM address space. But in this particular case, it probably wouldn't be enough. I think the best thing to do is this case to use a 64-bit kernel and a 64-bit compiled e2fsck binary. - Ted _______________________________________________ Ext3-users mailing list Ext3-users@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/ext3-users
