similar to: Could not install Xen 4.0.1 on Fedora 13, Please help me.

Greetings Xen Users, I am trying to bring up xen-4.0.1-0.1.rc4.fc13 on an up to date FC 13 Dell Precision 690. For dom0, I am using the 2.6.32.17 PVOPS kernel. Xen boots and the kernel boots until it reaches a point where KSM fails (as it should, since KSM is compiled out) but hangs, because it cannot find /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/sleep_millisecs and friends. I have booted the kernel on bare metal (KSM

Laurentiu, Just to chip in, without thoroughly checking the thread (which I'd like to apologize in advance for): have you tried to test other kernel instead of the stock one? You can have a look at http://elrepo.org/tiki/kernel-ml and http://elrepo.org/tiki/kernel-lt and use them for some comparison testing.

been playing with my host machine and thought some might want to see what I have on and the full list of chkconfig I have installed desktop and x windows system to bring up a desktop when I want one with startx. I turned 'off' quite a bit and yum removed quite a bit. These set of programs still allow full use as a host so far, including the startx desktop. Always afraid to remove or

I've tried with KSM disabled and nothing changed. I've upgraded KVM to qemu-kvm-ev. I'm waiting to see if there are any improvements and report back. ?n mie., 17 aug. 2016 la 15:10, Boris Derzhavets <bderzhavets at hotmail.com> a scris: > For myself KSM is unpredictable feature.

Both baremetal and compute ? Are there any other metrics do you consider useful to collect for troubleshooting purposes ? ?n mie., 17 aug. 2016 la 13:04, Boris Derzhavets <bderzhavets at hotmail.com> a scris: > It sounds weird, but attempt to disable KSM and see would it help or no ? > > > ------------------------------ > *From:* centos-virt-bounces at centos.org

Enabled the logging on both compute and baremetal. Nothing strange in logs: on baremetal : Wed Aug 17 11:51:01 EEST 2016: committed 62310764 free 58501808 Wed Aug 17 11:51:01 EEST 2016: 87025667 < 123574516 and free > 24714903, stop ksm on compute: Wed Aug 17 08:52:52 UTC 2016: committed 24547132 free 76730936 Wed Aug 17 08:52:52 UTC 2016: 45139624 < 102962460 and free > 20592492,

For myself KSM is unpredictable feature. The problem is Compute, just this node does "copy on write" , so only Compute. My concern exactly is where would it lead to worse or better Guest behavior ? I am not expecting complete fix. I would track via top/htop and dmesg via Cron on 1-2 hr period. ________________________________ From: centos-virt-bounces at centos.org

Hi, This is a very very strange thing I have seen in Linux Kernel. I wrote a simple program, all it does is to load a file into memory. This programming is running on a virtual machine while linux-kvm is working as the hypervisor. I enabled ksm in the hypervisor level, my host machine was installed with a Opensuse11.4 while the guest OS is Fedora14, the strange thing is, whenever I run following

Hello everyone, Anybody had the chance to test out this setup and reproduce the problem? I assumed it would be something that's used often these days and a solution would benefit a lot of users.

Are their any good guides out there on how to use ksmctl to enable and tune KSM performance on Centos/RedHat At the moment the only guidelines I can find are from the following OLS paper, plus the Linux Kernel Docs. * http://www.kernel.org/doc/ols/2009/ols2009-pages-19-28.pdf * http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/vm/ksm.txt On a basic dual core testbed with 4GB Ram and 4-5 VMs I've

I have had ksm[2] causing a high load (on recent centos7), such things have been reported before[1]. I suspect that this could be related to windows vm's. I am having not that many vm's in the current setup, and this load increased on the hosts with a few windows vm's that are already generating more load that others. Is there a way to disable ksm for specific vm's in the
