yes it should be plenty, could you run mkfs again on your disk and
send me the output - I want to see how it sizes things, that should
give us some clues. Also cat /proc/slabinfo and /proc/meminfo before and
after the mkfs and send that too.
 
Generally a clean mount should not have large memory requirements so this
is puzzling - unless the failure is not actually an out of memory thing
but some other issue.

Thanks

Any chance of at least the ksymoops output from this? The raw numbers
do not do any good without symbol table info attachecd to them.
