Memory maxed [message #34803]

I have openvz on a server with 4 gigs ram.

I have 5 vms.

ram usages usually shows as ~:
vm1 160/512
vm2 272/512
vm3 539/2048
vm4 381/512
vm5 279/512

I have 2 vms that keep crashing with the:
"Cannot Allocate Memory" error.

It doesn't matter how much ram I give them the ram usage suddenly spikes and the vm is unusable.

any ideas as to what is going on wild be great!!! Smile

please post the ubc (user_beancounters) for "crashing" containers ...

on hardwarenode:
# cat /proc/bc/<CTID>/resources

or for all containers
# cat /proc/user_beancounters

in a container:
# cat /proc/user_beancounters

See more at http://wiki.openvz.org/Resource_shortage

bye,
Thorsten

thats kind of a mess.

But yeah:
privvmpages 77465 131335 131072 131072 740347428

that fail count on this is huge 740347428.
But that doesn't really tell me a lot.

show OpenVZ resouce "privvmpages" are to low
-> increase the "privvmpages" of this container ...

$ vzctl set <CTID> --privvmpages <limit:barrier> [--save]

like (1.5 * maxheld ):

$ vzctl set <CTID> --privvmpages --privvmages 197002:197002

Btw, can you descibe what kind of program are running inside this container ?

Bye,
Thorsten

Ive increased that to 2 GB but it still maxes out suddenly/randomly.

It normally runs at about 200 MB ram usage. Its just a centos 5.2 install with webmin.
