[PVE-User] KSM not working?

[Fred Supinski]

Hi Dietmar,

It doesn't appear to start or give any output at all.

vm0:/var/log# ps aux | grep ksm
root        54  0.0  0.0      0     0 ?        SN   Dec28   0:00 [ksmd]
root     15063  0.0  0.0   3880   640 pts/1    S+   08:32   0:00 grep ksm
vm0:/var/log# /etc/init.d/ksmtuned start
vm0:/var/log# /etc/init.d/ksmtuned status
vm0:/var/log# ps aux | grep ksm
root        54  0.0  0.0      0     0 ?        SN   Dec28   0:00 [ksmd]
root     15069  0.0  0.0   3880   640 pts/1    S+   08:32   0:00 grep ksm
vm0:/var/log#

/etc/init.d/ksmtuned Line 42:
test -x $prox || exit 0

I am guessing this should be:
test -x $prog || exit 0

I'm have skimmed over the reset but nothing is popping out at me.  I
have tested with the above change, and it still does nothing.

It doesn't appear to log any failures either.

Thanks again,
-
Fred
