I didn't find informations about it in fsck_ffs manpage. http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq14.html#LargeDrive says A rough guideline is the system should have at least 1M of available memory for every 1G of disk space to successfully fsck the disk. How much memory do you have? Do you have a swap partition? Do you have some advices to repair this disk, the disk is probably OK, it's the filesystem that is broken. and for booting my OpenBSD? (1) Read the FAQ (2) Don't run fsck_ffs, run fsck. (3) If that doesn't help, either put mor memory into your machine, or just fsck the disk on another machine. Jan
Re: Error in fsck_ffs: cannot allocate memory for inode cache
Thanks for your advice but it did not work. So, we bought another hard disks. What for? If you didn't need the data that was on the broken /home, you could have just newfs'ed the partition ... Jan

It sets up the max resource limits before calling fsck_ffs(8). That might save your day. -Otto I tried to reboot, same problem. I didn't find informations about it in fsck_ffs manpage.
