Hi, I was trying to run testpmd application in interactive mode ($RTE_TARGET/app/testpmd) from the ./tools/setup.sh script with a 0x3 mask and I get the following error: Interactive-mode selected EAL: Error - exiting with code: 1 Cause: Creation of mbuf pool for socket 0 failed I get a similar error when I try to run l3fwd. Any idea why this is happening ? Thanks, Eduard Gibert Renart

Could you show how many hugepages do you have? i.e. can you show the full output of the app? Pablo > > Thanks, > Eduard Gibert Renart
I just rebooted the vm and It worked right away so I guess is that the hugepages was not big enough I was reserving 128 MB.
