Re: [libvirt] getFreeMemory reporting incorrectly?

[Hany Fahim <hany.fahim@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hey Daniel,

I just patched the source and compiled. It properly reports the free memory now:

[root@node1 ~]# python

Python 2.4.3 (#1, Jan 21 2009, 01:10:13) 

[GCC 4.1.2 20071124 (Red Hat 4.1.2-42)] on linux2

Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

>>> import libvirt

>>> conn = libvirt.open('xen:///')

>>> print(conn.getFreeMemory())

134217728

Thanks for all your help!

Hany

If you want to build from source, I'd appreciate feedback on whether
the following patch fixes the problem
