A potential fix for this would be to no longer run genhomedircon on systems with limited memory.
#!/bin/sh
free | awk '{ if ( NR == 2 ) { if ( $4 < 25000 ) { exit ; }}}'
/usr/sbin/semodule -Bn
This request was not resolved in time for the current release. Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to propose this request, if still desired, for consideration in the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. I think that minimal requirements for rhel6 specify 512MB of RAM. |
Created attachment 597542 [details] Screenshot showing actual errors Description of problem: When relabeling a VM with 256MB (by means of placing the /.autorelabel file) some "Out of memory" errors are shown (please see attached screenshot). I first encountered this with a CentOS 6.3 VM and eventually with RHEL6.3. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): policycoreutils-2.0.83-19.24.el6.i686 Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install RHEL 6.3 2. After installation, change the VM memory to 256MB 3. touch /.autorelabel & restart Actual results: Out of memory errors are shown Expected results: Just the relabeling related messages Additional info: free -m (output): total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 243 93 149 0 6 42 -/+ buffers/cache: 44 198 Swap: 1023 0 1023
