That's incorrect. There are 72 v.alloc calls in fs/ 2 of those calls have a specific OOM message. There's 1 in reiserfs (old and unsupported) and 1 in orangefs > I sure do > like to follow the flow of our kernel module all in one place > with the gossip statements... I don't see how that matters here as there's already an OOM on v.alloc failure. cheers, Joe
