Hello list, The last 3 days I notice a weird problem with the current , I 've built.After some time of work the system seems to cannot allocate memory although there is plenty of it free.For example now , I try to run a simple script that ssh'es to a host (the same with firefox and other programms): marinosi@loki:~$ diogenis /usr/home/marinosi/bin/diogenis: Pipe call failed: Cannot allocate memory marinosi@loki:~$ strace diogenis execve(0xbfbfe31c, [0xbfbfe7f0], [/* 0 vars */]PIOCWSTOP: Input/output error /usr/home/marinosi/bin/diogenis: Pipe call failed: Cannot allocate memory marinosi@loki:~$ strace firefox execve(0xbfbfe31c, [0xbfbfe7f0], [/* 0 vars */]PIOCWSTOP: Input/output error /usr/local/bin/firefox: Pipe call failed: Cannot allocate memory And of course my kernel messages flood, telling that the kern.ipc.maxpipekva exceeded the limit: kern.ipc.maxpipekva exceeded; see tuning(7) marinosi@loki:~$ sysctl kern.ipc.maxpipekva kern.ipc.maxpipekva: 16777216 This is the limit also, to my -STABLE laptop that works fine. Something new committed to the kernel? Thank you.. -- echo "Sysadmin know better bash than english" | sed s/min/mins/ \ | sed 's/better bash/bash better/'
