Subject:   fsck of large volume with small memory
Message-ID:  <467070B9.6050600@web.de>

Hi all

Is there any possibillity to fsck a 1.2 TB 40% filled volume with a
machine that has not that much memory, in this case only 1.5 GB.

The fsck gives me a friendly

# fsck /dev/da1
** /dev/da1
** Last Mounted on /fileserver
** Phase 1 - Check Blocks and Sizes
fsck_ufs: cannot alloc 4290901164 bytes for inoinfo

and quits.

While the volume was not that full, fsck had no problems.

Any hint to tune sysctl.conf or loader.conf or the kernel or anything
else to give fsck the needed memory?

I'm not yet at the point to mount readonly, scrap everything from the
disk and repartition the volume to smaller pieces.

Regards
    Andreas Kuehl
