From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.0.3705) Description of problem: On rare occasion, on several i686 servers, I will see ENONMEM type messages on the console, like so: ENOMEM in do_get_write_access, retrying. ENOMEM in do_get_write_access, retrying. ENOMEM in journal_alloc_journal_head, retrying. journal_write_metadata_buffer: ENOMEM at get_unused_buffer_head, trying again. There are no known related ill-effects other than the appearence of the message. This is happening on 2.4.18-5 (smp) kernel. On all these servers I am running ext3 filesystems with the following mount : /dev/sda4 /usr2 ext3 noatime,data=journal 1 2 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Couldn't Reproduce Additional info: 2.4.18-5 is a noisy kernel. I am guessing this may be part of the "noise", especially since there are no apparent side effects. At a minimum I would appreciate info on how to hide these messages or divert them to a file so the console operators do not see them.
Please try to reproduce with current errata kernel.
