Hi list, I have a CentOS 5.7 / kvm-88-3.el5.x86_64 and it gets at 99.9% mem used. I'm not able to explain all memory usage nor identify what is consuming all the memory. I've lost 100GB of memory that it's not being identified on procs RSS, slab structures. I really appreciate If somebody can give me a hint on this I paste some data of the server: Total running procs rss = 45593328 #cat /proc/meminfo MemTotal: 198092704 kB MemFree: 6181724 kB Buffers: 113624 kB Cached: 2350212 kB SwapCached: 97512 kB Active: 45768944 kB Inactive: 2281996 kB HighTotal: 0 kB HighFree: 0 kB LowTotal: 198092704 kB LowFree: 6181724 kB SwapTotal: 1015800 kB SwapFree: 267780 kB Dirty: 100624 kB Writeback: 32 kB AnonPages: 45512440 kB Mapped: 16584 kB Slab: 307768 kB PageTables: 102492 kB NFS_Unstable: 0 kB Bounce: 0 kB CommitLimit: 100062152 kB Committed_AS: 50353508 kB VmallocTotal: 34359738367 kB VmallocUsed: 364532 kB VmallocChunk: 34359337427 kB HugePages_Total: 0 HugePages_Free: 0 HugePages_Rsvd: 0 Hugepagesize: 2048 kB #cat /proc/cpuinfo [only last proc] processor : 23 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 6 model : 44 model name : Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU X5675 @ 3.07GHz stepping : 2 cpu MHz : 3066.884 cache size : 12288 KB physical id : 0 siblings : 12 core id : 1 cpu cores : 6 apicid : 3 fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 11 wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm syscall nx pdpe1gb rdtscp lm constant_tsc ida nonstop_tsc arat pni monitor ds_cpl vmx smx est tm2 ssse3 cx16 xtpr sse4_1 sse4_2 popcnt lahf_lm bogomips : 6133.52 clflush size : 64 cache_alignment : 64 address sizes : 40 bits physical, 48 bits virtual power management: [8] /dev/shm uses grew to 100Gb, but actually it's using 0% of it, and this should not reflect on memory usage #df|grep shm tmpfs 99046352 0 99046352 0% /dev/shm Kernel #uname -a Linux server 2.6.18-238.9.1.el5 #1 SMP Tue Apr 12 18:10:13 EDT 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux OS: Centos 5.7 KVM rpms version kmod-kvm-83-224.el5.centos.1.x86_64 kvm-88-3.el5.x86_64\ qemu is 0.10 thank you Sergio -- "If you end up with a boring, miserable life because you listened to your mom, your dad, your teacher, your priest, or some guy on television telling you how to do your shit, then you deserve it."
