Hi Jason, As Josh mentioned, the screenshot shows that demand as seen by Hyper-V is still quite high compared to what is displayed inside the guest. If this number doesn't settle, then Hyper-V would have no reason to reclaim memory. Does the Hyper-V memory demand number ever settle after some time?
With the "free" command, you should be seeing the following if memory is being returned to the host successfully: - Because Linux guests return memory via ballooning instead of hot- unplug; you'll never see the "total" memory decrease (i.e. it'll always reflect the spike) - Instead, you should see that "used" memory increases and "free" memory decreases. This indicates the kernel allocated some memory so no one can use it, and that Hyper-V has reclaimed this memory. (i.e. the used memory should increase by roughly the amount that the host has reclaimed) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1584597 Title: Hyper-V Memory Ballooning re-broken in 16.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1584597/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
