List-Id: Linux Ethernet Bridging List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , To: bridge@lists.osdl.org I set up a bridge for my network and I'm having some trouble. At first everything worked great, but after about 3 days of continuous bridging, my bridge machine died. Approximately once a second, the message: "br: memory squeeze!" would appear on the console. Keyboard input was mostly frozen, as well. I could switch virtual consoles, but I couldn't type. No traffic would pass through the bridge. When I rebooted, everything seemed fine. I don't have a whole lot of memory on the bridge machine, but I feel like it should be sufficient, since bridging is all it ever does and I have plenty of swap space. The system log doesn't should anything I thought to be abnormal. The memory squeeze messages were not logged. Here's the output of /proc/meminfo: total: used: free: shared: buffers: cached: Mem: 29655040 28917760 737280 0 13750272 6123520 Swap: 67104768 434176 66670592 MemTotal: 28960 kB MemFree: 720 kB MemShared: 0 kB Buffers: 13428 kB Cached: 5700 kB SwapCached: 280 kB Active: 4344 kB Inactive: 18036 kB HighTotal: 0 kB HighFree: 0 kB LowTotal: 28960 kB LowFree: 720 kB SwapTotal: 65532 kB SwapFree: 65108 kB Any suggestions?
