out_of_memory with no peaks in usage

[awado]

Hi, have a strange problem with one PVE (V. 6.1) host and its Debian 8 (old version for technical reasons) Guest. The guest crashes every now and then with no apparent reason, sometimes runs fine for weeks. The PVE logs say out_of_memory :

Dec 10 18:09:39 pve kernel: oom-kill:constraint=CONSTRAINT_NONE,nodemask=(null),cpuset=/,mems_allowed=0,global_oom,task_memcg=/qemu.slice/100.scope,task=kvm,pid=2228,uid=0
Dec 10 18:09:39 pve kernel: Out of memory: Killed process 2228 (kvm) total-vm:9233516kB, anon-rss:8407544kB, file-rss:1868kB, shmem-rss:0kB
Dec 10 18:09:39 pve kernel: oom_reaper: reaped process 2228 (kvm), now anon-rss:0kB, file-rss:36kB, shmem-rss:0kB

I've setup monitoring on both host and guest. In the memory statistics there's no a single peak in memory usage. It runs almost constantly at 80-90% of 8 GB on the guest and 50% of 16 GB on the host. Zooming in the graphs show no peak., the guest just crashes.

Hi,

Could you post config for Debian 8 VM qm config <VMID>, and I suggest you upgrade to Proxmox VE 6.3 we have already fixed some issues and added other features see here

Hi,

Is enabled the "Automatic Suspend" in Debian VM? and Could you post your PVE node version pveversion -v

 

[awado]

This node is far away so I don't want to update it at the moment.

(Autocorrection tried to replace "pveversion" with "perversion"… :-D)

Where can I find "Automatic Suspend"? In Proxmox or in the guest's OS?

If your VM with GUI you could find the suspend in the settings GUI.

 

[awado]

Thanks. Suspend is set to "never".
