Hello.
Last year some people using hugetlbfs with proxmox and kvm.
Here is the howto:
http://www.linux-kvm.com/content/get-performance-boost-backing-your-kvm-guest-hugetlbfs
I tried it with Proxmox 1.6 and the new 2.6.32-3 kernel.
I have 2 virtual machines with 4 GB memory and 1024 pages of 2M.
It is very fast, but first booting machine eats up all the huge pages.
I`m unsure how many pages to configure.
Any experiences?
