XFS in LINUX embedded environment

XFS in LINUX embedded environment

Hi,
I try to use XFS in LINUX embedded environment, without virtual memory.
In one of the tests I got "Out of memory" error.
My question is:

Is it possible to bound or decrease memory use by XFS?


Thanks,

Semion.

Can you describe your platform and environment for us? Does
"without virtual memory" mean you are using a uclinux variant? Or
does it mean you are simply not using any swap?

Can you provide the test case and details of the OOM error?

Not directly - same as every other linux filesystem.

Cheers,

Dave.
