While various cli options for memory backing have been introduced in 2014, the virt-manager GUI doesn't offer any memory options other than current and maximum allocation under open -> view -> details -> memory. The "locked" memory backing option is probably the most easy to to understand and can have huge impact when the host also acts as a file server or runs write-intense applications. It would be useful to many users to have a check box for it in the GUI. Indications for a need for this check box: * https://serverfault.com/questions/561446/how-can-i-keep-important-vms-in-memory-without-disabling-swap/ * https://serverfault.com/questions/477886/why-does-host-swap-out-vms-when-there-are-16gb-of-buffer-cache-and-swappiness The other options may also be useful but typical users will require much more guidance than offered in the libvirt documentation. I only start understanding them reading <https://www.suse.com/documentation/sles-15/singlehtml/ article_vt_best_practices/article_vt_best_practices.html>. _______________________________________________ virt-tools-list mailing list virt-tools-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/virt-tools-list
