Hi,
I'm having a weird problem with one of my Xen machines. I have a 96Gb
ram server, running on Debian 6 with Xen kernel. However, I can only
assign memory out of a pool of 24GB, the rest is unavailable for
assignment. When trying to run a new DomU i'm getting the error that
there isn't enough free ram. However, when I do the math myself I can
see that there's 22GB of ram in use, which leave 74GB available (minus
Dom0 minimum limit, which is set at 8GB).
I've tried disabling ballooning, i als saw posts of ram missing due to
the balloondriver, but nothing in the likes of this volume of missing ram.
Any help would be very much appreciated. Seems a shame to let 74GB go to
waste. If you need any more info, please let me know!
