Hello, Im trying to copy some files, but cp triggers the oom-killer.
testcase: mkdir /c/tst cp /z/os/winxpsp2/i386/* /c/tst Under vmware the oom killer kicks in on both busybox-1.6.1 and 1.81. Another low-memory box (256MB) I have here does the same with busybox-1.6.1. dd if=/dev/zero of=/c/out also triggers oomkiller. but dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/dsk does not.. The oom killer does not kick in on a 2GB system (busybox-1.6.1) but free tells me that I only have 111464 free after the test. A second test mkdir /c/tst cp /z/os/winxpsp2/i386/* /c/tst Also runs OK So, it looks like we have a bug somewhere.. I dont think it is busybox, but have something to do with the file system.. ..Im not sure where to look now.. I remember seeing this some time ago also, so this is probably an old one. Any hints? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
