<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi,<br>
<br>
This may be due to Windows zeroing memory on boot.<br>
<br>
What memory usage do you have on Proxmox node? It there is 20% RAM
free, then KSM won't hunt the rest of zeroed memory pages, nor
will reclaim the memory the balloon driver (is it installed?)<br>
<br>

<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>
