[Bug 579723] Re: kvm memory ballooning is unusable in Lucid
Any word on a decision to backport this fix to Lucid? I agree it is not a terrible bug and more of a lack of a feature, but Lucid will be in use for some time to come. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/579723 Title: kvm memory ballooning is unusable in Lucid To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libvirt/+bug/579723/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

@Brian, given that there is a workaround, I'm hesitant to do it. There have been reported bugs with ballooning in heavy overcommit situations, so even if ballooning is working fine for some users I'd rather not cause other users to switch from not using it to using it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/579723 Title: kvm memory ballooning is unusable in Lucid To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libvirt/+bug/579723/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 579723] Re: kvm memory ballooning is unusable in Lucid
This does not seem fixed in 10.04.1. The fix would apparently belong in Libvirt but the changelogs for the Libvirt package in 10.04.1 don't indicate anything and no KVM guest processes on my hosts running 10.04.1 show the -balloon virtio flag. I had to use a wrapper script around qemu-system-x86_64 to add the flag as discussed above. Is this fix in Maverick?
