Fork failed: Not enough space

Post by srekant »

Hi,

I am getting the below when running a job

" Fork failed: Not enough space" but when i retrigger the same job with out any change after the intial abort job runs successful.

I observed this behaviour for 4-5 runs

Job uses deduplicator,sort,aggregator, lkp

Any thoughts!

You're running out of space. Running again later and working indicates something else was using the same space previously and there's not enough room for everything to run simultaneously.

Looks like you did not have enough physical or virtual memory available when the program was running.
On Unix, clear tmp, check swap and make sure the machine can handle the load...
Windows, increase pagefile size if issue recurs..


Cheers,
