[Ocfs2-users] fsck.ocfs2 using huge amount of memory?

[Ulf Zimmermann]

And upgrading to kernel modules 1.4.7, tools 1.4.4 didn't change the memory part:

  PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM    TIME+  COMMAND                                                         
29532 root      18   0 21.9g  10g    4 D 21.1 45.0   0:15.24 fsck.ocfs2
