Is any possible to run xfs_repair without 24GB RAM (in my case) ? Maybe I should use big SWAP instant of so much RAM?
Try using the latest xfsprogs (or at least 2.9.x), lots of improvements have been made to the memory usage. It may not be of much help though, you really should be running a 64-bit kernel.
What is the difference running XFS_repair in 32 and 64 bit kernel?If any difference existing, how much RAM must be in system with (for example) 64TB in single volume in order to run XFS_repair
32-bit kernel is limited to ~4GB of memory per process. 64-bit is not. The amount of memory xfs_repair requires depends on the filesystem characteristics (how many inodes, etc etc) _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@oss.sgi.com http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
