[CentOS-virt] messages logs flooded with xen_balloon: reserve_additional_memory: add_memory() failed
My /var/log/messages log is being flooded with kernel messages showing the following messages Aug 1 11:22:52 host43 kernel: System RAM resource 48000000 - 4fffffff cannot be added Aug 1 11:22:52 host43 kernel: xen_balloon: reserve_additional_memory: add_memory() failed: ?17 Doing a search I found a thread from xen-devel that talks a bit about it. I?m not sure if this is related to the same issue or if that issue was ever fixed. When I cat current_kb and target_kb the values don?t match, they are just barely off. I have not tried setting them to match yet. http://marc.info/?t=135601508900004&r=1&w=3 [root at host ~]# cat /sys/devices/system/xen_memory/xen_memory0/info/current_kb 1048532 [root at host ~]# cat /sys/devices/system/xen_memory/xen_memory0/target_kb 1048576 Any ideas? -- Shaun Reitan -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Which version are you using? David
