memory

Hi I imagine some VPS hosting companies have ways to sell more memory than their servers actually have. How do they do this? Any advice for making the most of your server memory? A few ideas so far: * Use containers rather than VMs - pretty obvious * Make sure KSM (Kernel Samepage Merging) is...

Hi, I have deployed a Win10 Vm on a 64 GB Ram node and have allocated it 32 gb. After installing the Balloon Drivers the VM shows correct memory usage but the node summary still shows the incorrect usage , no zfs used and cache/buffer is at 3700k only. I have tried old virtio drivers too . How...

I have this weird issue where all of the VMs that I run, do not get the allocated amount of memory. When rebooting the VM, the correct amount of memory is in fact available in the VM, but after a couple hours, the maximum allowed memory in the VM will be way less. The issue is resolved when I...

Hello everyone! I've been using Proxmox on NUC's for a while now and recently purchased a new ASRock NUC Box 1165G7 then installed Proxmox 7.1 as a ZFS mirror on two internal disks (Sata SSD and NVMe M.2). I started experiencing odd things where pings and the Proxmox UI would stop responding...

Hello! I have a windows server 2016 vm in proxmox, with 16gb of memory, installed the ballooning service which is running, but the used memory displayed by proxmox is very high (about 12gb), but in the task manager the used memory is only 3gb. Nothing happens if I stop or restart the ballooning...

Hey, I have a few VMs running Ubuntu. When I log-in using SSH, then the VMs tell me this info: So the memory usage (from Ubuntu's perspective) is around 11%. Now when I look at the VM overview of Proxmox, I see this: So Proxmox is telling me that the memory usage of the databases VM is...

Hello, This had been asked several times however after extensive search there is still no real answer that would make sense or a formula that I was able to follow to assign memory - sometime it work and sometimes doesn't (guessing!) up to 48GB works fine after adding this workaround "options...

Hello there! Recent changes: i have recently migrated my boot device on my proxmox server to two Seagate Iron Wolf M.2 SSD's - which are running in a raid1 configuration for failover. After setting up proxmox i started migrating all my VM's to it, thats where i noticed something weird. Proxmox...

Good day all, In the process of upgrading a pve 5 cluster to pve 6 (better late than never). After the corosync upgrade to 3 with all cluster nodes still on pve 5 and online with quorum there was a netwok issue on one of the nodes. All VMs became unreachable for a minute or two and then came...

Hi there, We've been migrating away from our ESXI cluster to Proxmox, and it has been great so far, but I am still wondering about the memory saving features such as KSM and ballooning. Are KSM and Ballooning both enabled at the same time once the 80% limit has been reached? Will KSM /...

Hello there lovely people. So, as the title says, Memory Performance is really bad. I tried to debug this since 3 or 4 Weeks now and I´m all out of Ideas. In a Linux VM i get around 24GB/s with 1M BS which is around the maximum my Board/System can handle. I used the Phoronix Test Suite as a...

Hello, My summary of virtual machine Memeory Usage is not correct by all linux servers. For my windows vm's i have installed the virtio drivers en the guest agent en they memory usage is perfect the same as in task manager. Only how do i set this in debian and centos servers? I have installed...

I have a hyperconverged setup with 3 nodes. All running Debian 10, same hardware. There appears to be a memory leak on all the nodes that I could use help tracking down. Here's some pertinent information Package Information: proxmox-ve: 6.3-1 (running kernel: 5.4.78-2-pve) pve-manager: 6.3-3...

Hallo liebe Proxmox Community! Ich beobachte seit Längerem ein Problem mit LXCs bei Proxmox. Nach ein paar Tagen unterscheidet sich der Speicherverbrauch laut ps_mem (welches den Speicherverbrauch der einzelnen Prozesse in der VM addiert) und der zur Verfügung stehende Speicher laut free...

I installed my proxmox server on a two 250 gb ssd with raid1. My vms are stored on another zfs storage pool. The box has 64 gb memory. My memory usage is constantly past 90% despite having a few containers and vms setup with about 30 gb usage between all of them. I am having to do this daily...
