[VBox] Why VirtualBox process is so large?
I have the VM that is allocated 512MB of base memory for the guest, but its total memory size on host is 1263MB. This seems excessive. What is the normal memory overhead for the VM? Is there a way to reduce it? Documentation doesn't elaborate on this. virtualbox-4.2.18 9.2 Yuri ___ freebsd-emulation@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-emulation To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-emulation-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

This is the total size of the VirtualBox process for the VM, no Qt GUI. I expected it to be somewhat higher than 512MB, but not 2.5 times.

Documentation doesn't elaborate on this. 512MB machine looks in ps(1) like this (linux guest): 5717 yuri 21 200 1263M 444M select 0 9:06 88.48% VirtualBox And 1024MB machine looks like this (FreeBSD guest): 13565 yuri 18 200 1720M 1135M uwait 5 71:13 4.05% VirtualBox Process sizes shouldn't be that high in both cases. My guess is that VBox takes freedom to allocate an additional disk cache maybe? Then this should be configurable. What other memory could this be? Leak? As a comparison, VMWare lists the sample overhead memories: http://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-50/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.vmware.vsphere.resmgmt.doc_50%2FGUID-B42C72C1-F8D5-40DC-93D1-FB31849B1114.html For 1GB machine with 1CPU it would be ~26MB. We need to understand why VBox goes so much higher.

about www/opera port
I noticed on FreeBSD 10.x, Opera depends on compat9x for libstdc++.so.6. However, if I download the binary from opera.com, it runs just fine with libstdc++.so.6 provided by lang/gcc port. libstdc++.so.6 = /usr/local/lib/gcc46/libstdc++.so.6 The problem is, on 10, emulators/virtualbox-ose conflicts with compat9x and requires the library from gcc. Could you switch the source for libstdc++.so.6 from misc/compat9x to lang/gcc please? This way Opera and VirtualBox can be co-installed. Thank you. - Nikolai Lifanov ___ freebsd-emulation@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-emulation To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-emulation-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
