Memory usage on VE and HN does not match

[fernandomm]

Hi,

I'm running proxmox with kernel 2.6.24-9-pve and a single VE with CentOS 5.5 64 bits.

The problem is that the memory usage on VE is higher than HN. Example:

VE:

# free -m
             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:          7867       7867          0          0          0          0
-/+ buffers/cache:       7867          0
Swap:            0          0          0

HN:

# free -m
             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:          7867       6972        895          0        163       1800
-/+ buffers/cache:       5008       2859
Swap:         4095        145       3950

Is it normal? I'm having some memory issues on VE even with the HN having free memory.

Thanks.

Is it normal?

Looks quit normal - but it shows that you run out of memory inside the VE.

You assigned 8GB to the VE, and all memory is used.
