No free hugepages reported

[Lokesh Chakka]

hi Stephen,

Thanks for the reply. Following is the observation...

*************************************************************
$ dpdk-hugepages.py -s
Node Pages Size Total
2    512   2Mb    1Gb
6    512   2Mb    1Gb

Hugepages mounted on /dev/hugepages /mnt/huge

$ sudo dpdk-hugepages.py -p 1G --setup 2G
Unable to set pages (0 instead of 2 in
/sys/devices/system/node/node4/hugepages/hugepages-1048576kB/nr_hugepages).
*************************************************************
