Hi,

I am using OpenVZ since about 3 months now. On a new host server (32bit system, 1 GB RAM, CentOS 4.2) I set up a debian VPS (based on the template provided on your FTP server).
Now the problem is that I get a REALLY high failcount for kmemsize. It is completely irrelevant what values for KMEMSIZE I use I always get nearly the same values. The problem is that the value is already that high about 1 second after start.
I really hope someone of the developers can help me.

First, here is the output of /proc/user_beancounters:
Version: 2.5
       uid  resource           held    maxheld    barrier      limit    failcnt

It happens...

Most probable reason is some application is trying to grab some high amount of memory. So, look for some strange memory-related messages from logs.

Another reason could be a stateful firewall inside a VPS -- if there are too many connections, netfilter can allocate quite a big amounts of kernel memory. Are there a lot of records in /proc/net/ip_conntrack file inside a VPS? Does it help to run a VPS without any iptables rules (you can actually clone a VPS and run its clone without iptables to check)?

Thanks kir,

The problem was that some one my parameters were too low and mysql tried to allocate much more memory. Now I used vzsplit to generate the config and everything seems to work fine.
