I am building a Beowulf cluster using Dell PowerEdge 1400SC
(2x800Mhz, 1GB of ram, 9GB Ultra160) and using kernel 2.4.5

I several of my nodes I am getting the following errors:

Jun 10 00:19:32 grendel16 kernel: __alloc_pages: 0-order allocation
failed.
Jun 10 00:19:32 grendel16 last message repeated 12 times
Jun 10 00:19:36 grendel16 kernel: ed.
Jun 10 00:19:36 grendel16 kernel: __alloc_pages: 0-order allocation
failed.
Jun 10 00:19:55 grendel16 last message repeated 363 times
Jun 10 00:23:32 grendel16 kernel: VFS: file-max limit 8192 reached

Below is the output of cat /proc/slabinfo

I was wondering if someone could help me debug this one.

Thanks in advance for any help,

Regards - Didier
