e2fsck - Error allocating inode bitmap

[FRANCOIS]

Hello,

I'm trying to run e2fsck (Dracula's firmware 2.8.3) but always get a
memory alloc error :

/ # e2fsck /dev/discs/disc0/part2
e2fsck 1.25 (20-Sep-2001)
KiSS_HDD: clean, 787/8781824 files, 13063824/17536955 blocks
/ # e2fsck /dev/discs/disc0/part2 -f
e2fsck 1.25 (20-Sep-2001)
Pass 1: Checking inodes, blocks, and sizes
8O Error allocating inode bitmap (6): Memory allocation failed
8O KiSS_HDD: 787/8781824 files (0.0% non-contiguous), 13063824/17536955 blocks
/ #

I suspect that this may deal with the size of the partition (I have a 80GB DD). Does anyone succeeded running e2fsck on KISS ?
I really want e2fsck to work as, I think, it is a nice feature to
check any consistency issue on the DD..

Thanks for any idea / hint

Emmanuel

Hi,

Exactly the same problem for me, but with an error :( :
/ # e2fsck /dev/discs/disc0/part2
e2fsck 1.25 (20-Sep-2001)
ext2fs_check_if_mount: Unknown error 2 while determining whether /dev/discs/disc0/part2 is mounted.
KiSS_HDD contains a file system with errors, check forced.
Pass 1: Checking inodes, blocks, and sizes
Error allocating block bitmap (1): Memory allocation failed
KiSS_HDD: 2515/4823840 files (0.0% non-contiguous), 7996727/9639504 blocks
Sorry not to have a response for you.

It looks like a memory problem,
The aplication can not free enoufh momory to work.
I have to chack on this problem.

I guess setting up a swap could help but I don't know how to do it with KISS (and I don't want to reformat my HDD again...)

Thanks Dracula!
