    Memory issues

    I have been trying to figure this one out by my self but I think I need some help with translation. One of nested Proxmox servers that has 4 LXC servers running (each using ~1G RAM) claims that it is using 14G out of 16G. What is the rest of the memory being used? root@vh0:~# cat /proc/meminfo...

    RAM reporting by Proxmox interface is incorrect

    Hi All, I have 3 Ubuntu Server 18.04.3LTS virtual machines running in Proxmox 6.0-4. Everything runs perfectly however the RAM usage that is reported by each individual VM appears incorrect when compared to the htop output from within the VM... This is the case for all VMs, however the Proxmox...

    RAM usage well exceeds VM assignment

    Hi, Lately I realized that the RAM usage on PVE exceed the amount I allocated for the VMs. For example, now I am running a single VM and 4 GB RAM has been allocated to it, but the summary of the host says 15GB+ RAM has been used. I am running PVE 6 with 32 GB RAM and a ZFS storage pool (1.8 TB...

    RAM consumption (Cannot allocate memory)

    Hi everyone, First of, I am well aware of the famous "Linux ate my RAM" page and I post here because my issue makes no sense. I am also aware of the usual RAM requirements of 1GB per TB or storage for ZFS, but again, seems a bit odd in my situation. I have 5 VMs on my server, of which only...

    proxmox is not using available RAM, rather uses (full) swap

    Hello! We are currently using a proxmox-server to virtualize about 20 windows machines (usually 6-8 hosts running concurrently). Currently, we are experiencing an issue with RAM-Allocation. We have 39.62% (24.91 GiB of 62.88 GiB) RAM usage and the SWAP usage is at 98.26% (12.16 GiB of 12.37...

    CEPH - Kalkulation RAM

    Moin, gibt es eine Art Formel um den RAM-Verbrauch von Ceph sauber abzufedern? Bei Ceph stand, dass jeder Dienst 1GB RAM benötigen würde, bei OSDs nur 500MB. Wenn ich also mit 4 Journalen (1TB SSD) und 20 OSDs (1TB HDD) unterwegs bin, dann komme ich auf 14GB RAM für CEPH reservieren. Haut das...

    KSM - Will it work for LXC?

    I was experimenting with KSM. I wonder if it can work on PVE with lots of LXC containers running same apps. Eg.: lots of apaches. I've enabled ksmtuned with threshold of 50%, it seems to run=1, but pages_shared:0 means it's not sharing and full_scans:0 probably means it didn't even tried to find...

    Reducing memory overhead - Proxmox on Debian Stretch

    I realize this isn't the typical use case. Have Proxmox up and running atop a Debian Stretch install on a very low power\low ram host (Intel Cherry Trail Z8350 processor with 4G RAM). This isn't for production, but mostly a learning environment. Had to do the Proxmox install atop Debian as I had...

    ZFS and overcommitted resources

    I've successfully built a Debian 9 host with Proxmox and ZFS. My understanding is that with the availability of resource sharing (e.g., "balloon" memory) it is common to overcommit resources. In other words, on a machine with 64GB, with several VMs running the same OS, I might be able to get...

    [SOLVED] "Pull the plug" HA without downtime?

    I was wondering... The HA feature in proxmox ensures that a VM (or LXC) will start on another node in case a node goes down, but the machine will shutdown and will have to reboot on the next node. Would there be any way to ensure that the machine will instantly appear on the other node once its...

    Ability to visualize overallocation

    Hi everyone, Proxmox allow local RAM/disk overallocation (infinite "virtual" allocation whereas physical host has finite ressources) which is a great tool to optimize use of ressources. But overallocation can be tricky as it represent a risk for the global host (Out Of Memory, No space left on...

    Webui ram usage vs free

    Hello, I'm trying to understand how does the webui report the ram usage for the host. As you can see here the ram usage reported by the webui is 50GB but according to free shouldn't that value be "total - available column" (125-45=85GB used) I'm not sure which one to believe. Could ZFS...

    LXC Containers and Ram

    Hey, I'm new to LXC containers and had a question. When I have a container that's off, why does the container still use all X gb's of ram it's allocated. If it's off, shouldn't it now use the ram. All my charts and netdata show it using it. Thanks.
