swap on kvm guest?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Is it useful to enable swap on a kvm guest? Or is having it on the host
enough?

My guess is that the guest memory is opaque to the host kernel, so the
guest kernel can manage its own swap better?

But then host swap is useful for dealing with overcommitted memory
allocations to the guests, I suppose - so I might need both, for
different purposes?

Cheers,
Richard
