If I add up my memory usage in each VE, it adds up to a lot less than what is (apparently) actually being consumed.
This is causing me grief on a production server, in that I'm running out of RAM, and going into swap, which is really hurting my web server - it slows to a crawl, then processes back up, and memory usage really spirals up.
Evidence:
# for v in ` cd /proc/bc ; echo * `; do echo $v; vzctl exec $v free -m; done
---- VE: 100
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 256 9 246 0 0 0
-/+ buffers/cache: 9 246
Swap: 0 0 0
---- VE: 101
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 921 493 427 0 0 0
-/+ buffers/cache: 493 427
Swap: 0 0 0
---- VE: 102

---- VE: 106

Mem: 345 20 324 0 0 0
-/+ buffers/cache: 20 324
Swap: 0 0 0
---- VE: 107
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 115 37 77 0 0 0
-/+ buffers/cache: 37 77
Swap: 0 0 0
Add up the "used" columns, and I get around 617MB
On the HN:
# free -m
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 1945 1901 43 0 40 100
-/+ buffers/cache: 1761 184
Swap: 6143 281 5862
It is showing 1761MB in use.
If I do some maths on the output of /proc/bc/*, I get similar results:
# ~/beano < /proc/user_beancounters
VE 107: priv = 36MB, kmem = 0MB
VE 106: priv = 20MB, kmem = 1MB
VE 102: priv = 58MB, kmem = 1MB
VE 101: priv = 497MB, kmem = 11MB
VE 100: priv = 9MB, kmem = 0MB
VE 0: priv = 39MB, kmem = 7MB
This totals 679MB (note, this was run a few minutes after the above maths, so numbers differ slightly).
So, why the large discrepancy? Where's my missing 1GB of memory gone?
Caveats: I know I'm probably not doing the maths 100% accurately, but it's near enough to know that something isn't right.
Detail:
Here's /proc/user_beancount:

Well I can see that you have a big problem with privvmpages and a small one with tcpsndbuf, you need to increase this values in your VE 101, please use vzcfgvalidate /PATH/VE.conf to check the config, don't think in this way "I have 10gb of ram and this VE is going to have 2gb of ram ...", you can't set a specific amount of RAM for a VE because the RAM for a computer is not a piece of something.
