replaced the atoi with a atol, and cast approriately. Should work up to about 300TB of swap now. Fixed in CVS. fixed in errata, due out today. |
From a customer service request: System running enterprise kernel with two 1.9 gig swap partitions, rhn_register quits with the following: ----- [snip] Traceback (innermost last): File "/usr/lib/python1.5/site-packages/libglade.py", line28, in __call__ ret = apply(self.func, a) File "/usr/share/rhn/register/gui.py", line 448, in \ onProfilePagePrepare hardware.read_memory() File "/usr/share/rhn/register/hardware.py", line 172, in read_memory megs = string.atoi(memlist[1])/(1024*1024) ValueError: atoi() literal too large: 4038557696 ----- [snip] The atoi literal there is the total ram+swap in bytes. Seems this much ram pushes it outside atoi's legal range. Turning off one of the swap partitions solves the problem, but given that the swap limit on the enterprise kernel is 8x2 gigs (if I remember correctly!), we might want to look at this.
