We're just discussing something similar on the fedora-virt list Currently, ksm is enabled by default in the kernel - since it's disabled by default in 2.6.32, we'll probably switch to that behaviour Do you have the ksm or ksmtuned init scripts enabled? Does enabling ksmtuned help reduce the CPU usage? Cheers, Mark. -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
