With oom killer enabled, I get
Apr 27 16:36:31 sycorax kernel: Out of Memory: Killed process 1281 (xfs_repair).
while without oom killer the kernel message is the same as above. And
yes, both runs again on the flaky machine as there is no box around I
could update to 2.4.26.
But let me ask a more fundamental question: Is this the normal behaviour
of xfs_repair to allocate such an amount of memory? Is there a way to
estimate how much memory is needed to recover a damaged filesystem?
