OK. This is very bad. > You can find partman and sylog log here: > http://sd6.iuculano.it/dmraid-testing/log1.tar.gz Unfortunately these don't help very much. What I think we need here is a full debug log for partman to see what was running at the time of the OOM. I suspect you somehow get into a loop. Please make sure you have started your ssh sessions _before_ starting partman (so we know that they do not cause the OOM). Add a line 'set -x' in /lib/partman/lib/base.sh before you start partman and send the syslog after you get the OOM. Please follow the wiki page. Starting with a "new" pseudo-RAID device is fine. > - Second test > > Partition disk: > This time I choose "Automatically partition the free space", "all files > in one partition" and I got: Automatic/guided partitioning is not supported for dmraid. > - Third test (as wiki procedure but with "Automatically partition the > free space") As I say, not supported. > As the second, but this time I selected "Write changes in SATA RAID > partitioning to disk", and I got: > http://sd6.iuculano.it/dmraid-testing/partman3-1.png This is already so fucked up (combination of <device><part> and <device>p<part> devices) that it's really not any use to continue. > Now I got: > http://sd6.iuculano.it/dmraid-testing/partman3-5.png > > I selected Free space and create a new partition, set it as swap area: Selecting FREE SPACE on a partition is not conform the documented procedure.

All the rest is effectively useless I'm afraid. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
