Hello all,
I'm facing a strange issue on my 9.1.7 test installation.
I have some Win2K8R2 guest that are basically idle, but on the web UI the memory is shown at 100% usage.
I've tried disabling the USB tablet but that didn't change nothing.
Here the screenshots:

I've installed virtio drivers 0.1.173-9 :

as this seems to be the latest versione for Win2K8R2.

Any hint on what I can check, or do to fix ?



Thanks in advance.

I was looking inside the page you linked but is strange that only 2K8 shows this behavior.
2019 and 2007 don't.
There is a different ui from the wiki page or the real one.
Now there is not a "use fixed" check box:

I see room for improvement such as enabling discard. It also seems like the ballooning service isn't running. Can you check that? I don't notice anything problematic beside that pertaining to this issue though. I'd check RAMMap for the zeroing. I Can't remember what affects that though.

Ballooning services was not installed, nor enabled.
Enabling the ballooning service on the guest, as indicated on the wiki, did the job, so probably is only matter that on old O.S. it does not get installed (the service, as the driver was ) by default.

Thanks !
I'll mark as solved.
