<p> Hi,</p>
<p>I have a strange issue with the latest PVE and windows 7.</p>
<p>The problem is the huge memory reservation and opposite memory reports. Only one windows7 is running without any usage, but the memory consumption is huge, including ksm.</p>
<p>The memory config for the windows7 VM: 2GB (min.) / 22GB (max.)<br />
Processor config: 4 (1 socket, 4 cores) [Nehalem]</p>
<p>VM status reports: Memory usage: <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Total 22GB ; Used: 1.86GB</span></p>
<p>PVE RAM usage: Total: 31.39GB; <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Used: 23.02GB; KSM: 8.22GB</span></p>
<p>The used memory inside the VM is the same as the VM reports, around 1.86GB.</p>
<p>So, I do not really understand the situation.</p>
<p>What do you think about this kind of memory usage? Is this normal?</p>
<p>I use zfs on linux, I checked the memory configuration of it (arc limited to 2GB), so, we can forget the zfs as problem source.</p>
<p>Any idea?</p>
<p>Thanks,</p>
<p>István</p>
