Hi all, I'm running VirtualBox 2.0.2 on a Solaris 10 host, with OpenSolaris as a guest machine. I'm constantly hitting a problem where my host runs out of memory.
I have 3 gigs of ram on the host in total and I assigned 1 gig to the guest. Before booting the guest I have around 1.5 gigs of free memory on the host. Here is my vmstat output: r b w swap free re mf pi po fr de sr cd s0 -- -- in sy cs us sy id 0 0 0 1688812 1534436 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 533 629 579 1 0 98 when I boot my guest, on the OpenSolaris login prompt I get around 910M free: 0 0 0 529736 938412 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1167 13346 1289 4 5 90 after login it's around 750M left: 0 0 0 196888 770368 0 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2018 19572 2999 11 4 85 now I start Firefox on the guest: 0 0 0 24836 683884 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1474 3735 1985 4 1 95 660M free on the host and lo and behold vbox pops up saying: Unable to allocate and lock memory. The virtual machine will be paused. Please close applications to free up memory or close the VM. Error ID: HostMemoryLow Severity: Non-Fatal Error I reproduced this at least 4 times. Is this just me or is anyone else having this problem?
