Are you using virtio drivers in the VMs? There was an issue with KVM-72 and virtio that leaks memory in the host until all RAM and swap is used (inside the VMs, no swap is used). It was supposed to be fixed in KVM-80-something, though. Perhaps something similar is happening again? If you switch the disks to scsi instead of virtio, does the problem go away? We are running KVM-72 on Debian 5.0 and have run into this issue. We'll be upgrading our hosts this month to fix this. -- Freddie Cash [email protected] -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
