>Environment:
Generic kernel
>Description:
During boot, fsck fails on one particular file system with the message:
cannot alloc 7730626 bytes for lncntp
Said filesystem is big and has lots of inodes:
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity iused ifree %iused Mounted on
/dev/sd2s1e 8396407 5387897 2336797 70% 1484960 2380350 38% /var/spool/news
>How-To-Repeat:
reboot
>Fix:
The resources allocated to "daemon" in /etc/login.conf need to be
increased. No attempt was made to tune these increased parameters.
