Note: "permalinks" may not be as permanent as we would like,
direct links of old sources may well be a few messages off.
Just FYI - Managed to get around this by adding the kernel option vmalloc=256m

Subject: drbdsetup fails with 'out of memory'
Hi,
I have DRDB setup and am trying to use it with LVM on ubuntu 8.04
I'm currently getting an error message when I try and bring up r0
/sbin/drbdsetup /dev/drbd0 disk /dev/sda5 /dev/sda4 0 --set-defaults --create-device --on-io-error=detach
Failure: (140) vmalloc() failed. Out of memory?
The following is in /var/messages. Anyone know why this is failing?
My drbd.conf is standard except for
on san1 {
device /dev/drbd0;
disk /dev/sda5;
address 10.101.6.52:7788;
meta-disk /dev/sda4[0];
}
on san2 {
device /dev/drbd0;
disk /dev/sda5;
address 10.101.6.53:7788;
meta-disk /dev/sda4[0];
}
}
