Hello, F11 x86_64 + rawvirt with latest updates I have a f12 near beta x86_64 kvm guest where now I'm doing "yum update" in it and basically I'm only in gui session without doing anything else
Some strange things: - in virt-manager set 400Mb for VM (both the allocated, change, max allocation values... btw how to use them???) my guest sees only about 330Mb [gcecchi@localhost ~]$ free total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 344212 252944 91268 0 4268 26908 -/+ buffers/cache: 221768 122444 Swap: 950264 179092 771172
With dmesg on guest I see something like this:
Memory: 329452k/409536k ...... 79696k reserved
The 79696k reserved seems to fill the gap... is this a feature in f12 or based on it being a guest?
- As you see, the guest is swapping about 180Mb, and actually it is very slowly responsive. Shouldn't it use some of buffers/cache before swapping so much? Is this expected during a yum update (only 34 packages for an overall of 72MB)? Or problem with F12 itself or virtualization layer?
Thanks Gianluca
