Error is "swapoff: /dev/sda3: Cannot allocate memory" the reason is because this system is runing out of memory! only about 400MB RAM available on the system, and only 4MB free: ---------------------------------- MemTotal: 431104 kB MemFree: 4768 kB Buffers: 11008 kB Cached: 81888 kB SwapCached: 56384 kB Active: 118832 kB Inactive: 49872 kB HighTotal: 0 kB HighFree: 0 kB LowTotal: 431104 kB LowFree: 4768 kB SwapTotal: 2097120 kB SwapFree: 1854720 kB Dirty: 18032 kB Writeback: 0 kB AnonPages: 75792 kB Mapped: 30192 kB Slab: 44992 kB PageTables: 9024 kB NFS_Unstable: 0 kB Bounce: 0 kB CommitLimit: 2312672 kB Committed_AS: 746976 kB VmallocTotal: 137430563184 kB VmallocUsed: 22736 kB VmallocChunk: 137430539024 kB ---------------------------------- but there are more than 200MB swap space are in use: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Filename Type Size Used Priority /dev/sda3 partition 2097120 242400 -1 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- so swapoff of course will get the "Cannot allocate memory" without any doubt. The test machine was running on a xen kernel and seems there're some domU guests running. could you please confirm ? If yes, then could you please shutdown some domU and release some memory for dom0 ? make sure there are enough free memory(more than 500MB) available on the machine(for dom0), and then could you please re-run the STORAGE test ? Thanks -YK
This bug could not be reproduced with both hts-5.1.4-el5 and hts-5.1.8-el5 in RHEL5.1-Server-20071017.0 ia64_xen system. So resolved it.
