hello, as per suggestion from irc, i post this here: i have a debian etch dom0 with 3gb ram, plenty of swap space, and xen running. i used to have a mixed setup of modified and unmodified linux domU, but i changed to running all unmodified when the last 2gb of my current 3gb ram arrived. two days after changing to the pae-build of xen and un-modifying the guests (something broke in the transition; unmodified guests are easier to maintain), single domU started to freeze; it turned out that the out-of-memory killer killed qemu-dm or its python parent (both happened). the dom0 has 391mb of ram at its disposition and an additional 1gb swap space. top says none of the processes is using more than 1.5% memory under normal observation. any ideas on what makes those processes eat up much more memory (at least i guess they do, unless the oom killer went rogue) and how to prevent it? logs are attached xen version is "3.0.3-1 (Debian 3.0.3-0-2)" chrysn _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
