Hello all,
B9 updated to latest running on a VMWare virtual machine with 1GB RAM +
512MB swap.
Running yum update dies on
Updating: glib2 ...
error: Couldn't fork %post: Cannot allocate memory.
Memory use:
$ free -m
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 989 980 9 0 4 167
-/+ buffers/cache: 807 181
Swap: 511 405 106
Once yum is killed (and caches are dropped)
$ echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
$ free -m
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 989 235 754 0 0 22
-/+ buffers/cache: 211 777
Swap: 511 188 32
.. In short, yum update is eating >1.2GB of memory in-order to update
282 packages.
