Hi,

I have a few VM and CT on my server, mostly under Ubuntu 18.04, and my KSM sharing always show "0B".

Do you know why ?

Normaly this feature need 3 to 5 days, depending on shared data. But it works here on us sever. The service is running?
 
Yes, service is running :
Code:
root@pve:~# systemctl status ksmtuned.service

   Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/ksmtuned.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)

Server and VM / CT are up for 4 days
 
AFAIK it'll only be triggered if the ram is sufficient full and also independent of the time.

I updated our cluster the last week and the KSM directly kicks in on a freshly updated node while moving a lot of machines to that node.
