Hi All, I use Git with some Virtual Machine and I have an issue with 2 of them. When I use some VM I have created with a "pre-allocated" disk split into a 2Go file. For example a "ls" give: -rwx------ 1 epuerto epuerto 2147221504 juin 18 17:05 All-f001.vmdk -rwx------ 1 epuerto epuerto 2147221504 juin 18 17:05 All-f002.vmdk -rwx------ 1 epuerto epuerto 2147221504 juin 18 12:07 All-f003.vmdk -rwx------ 1 epuerto epuerto 2147221504 juin 18 17:05 All-f004.vmdk -rwx------ 1 epuerto epuerto 2147221504 juin 18 17:05 All-f005.vmdk -rwx------ 1 epuerto epuerto 2147221504 juin 18 12:07 All-f006.vmdk -rwx------ 1 epuerto epuerto 2147221504 juin 18 12:07 All-f007.vmdk -rwx------ 1 epuerto epuerto 1835008 mars 10 21:44 All-f008.vmdk -rwx------ 1 epuerto epuerto 1007 juin 18 09:30 All.vmdk -rw------- 1 epuerto epuerto 548 juin 18 09:40 devel -rw------- 1 epuerto epuerto 1538850816 juin 18 17:05 devel-s001 -rw------- 1 epuerto epuerto 1125384192 juin 18 17:05 devel-s002 -rw------- 1 epuerto epuerto 1384382464 juin 18 17:05 devel-s003 -rw------- 1 epuerto epuerto 1632763904 juin 18 17:05 devel-s004 -rw------- 1 epuerto epuerto 1572864 juin 18 17:05 devel-s005 -rwx------ 1 epuerto epuerto 8684 juin 18 17:07 Ubuntu.nvram -rw------- 1 epuerto epuerto 536870912 juin 18 17:06 Ubuntu.vmem -rwx------ 1 epuerto epuerto 0 mars 10 21:31 Ubuntu.vmsd -rw------- 1 epuerto epuerto 135732052 juin 18 17:07 Ubuntu.vmss -rwx------ 1 epuerto epuerto 2908 juin 18 17:07 Ubuntu.vmx -rwx------ 1 epuerto epuerto 261 mars 10 21:31 Ubuntu.vmxf So if I just do a "git init" and after do a "git add -A" I have the following error: fatal: Out of memory, malloc failed no more information is given if I use the verbose option of git (git add -v -A). In fact the error appear when I try to add file name "all-f00?.vmdk" It appears that this size of file is not accepted by git. If I do the same with other VM that they have a biggest size or a smallest size, all it is ok For example: -rw------- 1 epuerto epuerto 8684 avril 6 15:56 CentOs 5.2 Dev.nvram -rw------- 1 epuerto epuerto 8684 juin 18 11:36 CentOs 5.3 Dev.nvram -rw------- 1 epuerto epuerto 536870912 juin 18 11:36 CentOs 5.3 Dev.vmem -rw------- 1 epuerto epuerto 0 avril 3 12:26 CentOs 5.3 Dev.vmsd -rw------- 1 epuerto epuerto 18408288 juin 18 11:36 CentOs 5.3 Dev.vmss -rwxr-xr-x 1 epuerto epuerto 2239 juin 18 11:36 CentOs 5.3 Dev.vmx -rw------- 1 epuerto epuerto 269 avril 6 10:43 CentOs 5.3 Dev.vmxf -rw------- 1 epuerto epuerto 1766981632 juin 18 11:36 sda-s001.vmdk -rw------- 1 epuerto epuerto 2094596096 juin 18 11:36 sda-s002.vmdk -rw------- 1 epuerto epuerto 1808138240 juin 18 11:36 sda-s003.vmdk -rw------- 1 epuerto epuerto 1429667840 juin 18 11:36 sda-s004.vmdk -rw------- 1 epuerto epuerto 65536 juin 18 11:36 sda-s005.vmdk -rw------- 1 epuerto epuerto 907 juin 18 10:57 sda.vmdk OR -rwxrwxrwx 1 epuerto epuerto 8684 juin 17 21:08 FreeBSD 64-bit.nvram -rwxrwxrwx 1 epuerto epuerto 1114112 mars 27 2008 FreeBSD 64-bit.vmdk -rwxrwxrwx 1 epuerto epuerto 0 mars 27 2008 FreeBSD 64-bit.vmsd -rwxrwxrwx 1 epuerto epuerto 1652 juin 17 19:48 FreeBSD 64-bit.vmx -rwxrwxrwx 1 epuerto epuerto 269 mars 27 2008 FreeBSD 64-bit.vmxf -rwxrwxrwx 1 epuerto epuerto 9118810112 juin 17 21:08 hdd.vmdk My primary OS (where I use Git) is $uname -a Linux epuerto-FC10.innova-card.internal 2.6.27.24-170.2.68.fc10.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed May 20 22:47:23 EDT 2009 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux And my git version is: $ git --version git version 1.6.0.6 my config is: ThinkPad T400 with a Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T9400 and 4Go Thanks by advance for your help.
