Subject: VM and N-order allocation failed.
Date: Wed, 15 Aug 2001 17:21:22 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <3B7AE7D2.3070900@erisksecurity.com> (raw)
I've a friend who has a small box doing routing/firewalling/nat for a
/27 and the bandwidth is pretty tiny. The machine has 32megs of ram and
100 in swap.
It dies anywhere from an hour after reboot to 12 hours later, on console
are messages like so "__alloc_pages: 0-order allocation failed." and
"ip_conntrack: table full, dropping packet."
His prior kernel was 2.4.7, nothing special, he's using 3com
3cSOHO100-TX and Cpq Neteligent 10/100. I just upped him to 2.4.8 as a
starter and we'll see how it's going. I don't have direct access to the
box so I can't give complete information.
Comments and suggestions welcomed,
David
