AC56U external drive and Cannot allocate memory

[wangjunabc]

Hi there,
recently, I bought a WD MY BOOK 4 TB external hard drive and plug it into my AC56U's (runs Merlin 376.45) USB 3.0. It works well, but after the disk health scan, I got the message like this:

Failed to calloc 122093248 bytes: Cannot allocate memory
Checking cluster allocation ...
ERROR(12): Failed to setup allocation bitmap: Cannot allocate memory

Does anyone know why it happens and how to fix it?
Or do I need to return the hard drive?

Thank you.

The router does not have enough RAM to run a filesystem check on such a large hard drive.

Thanks, so I keep the drive

I can't even schedule `fsck` on a 16GB USB3.0 pendrive on an AC56U. By the time the router detects the USB ports/drive it's already too late or it just ignores the relevant scripts.

# cat /jffs/scripts/pre-mount
#!/bin/sh

touch /tmp/003premountscriptd

if [ $1 = "/dev/sda5" ]
then
/usr/sbin/e2fsck $1
fi

Every time the syslog shows "mounting unchecked filesystem; run fsck please"; something to that extent
