Dear List! On one of my machines i started getting errors like this after upgrading from Kernel 2.6.35 to 2.6.36. --- --- snip --- --- Nov 9 11:25:57 xxxxx kernel: [591880.880679] vmap allocation for size 1048576 failed: use vmalloc=<size> to increase size. ...

Any ideas how to narrow down the problem? tia, Michael _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@xxxxxxxxxxx http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
