There are 9 guests, two of them are freebsd-11-stable, the rest are ubuntu-14.04-LTS. Restarting some (but not all) of the guests has the effect of decreasing swap usage. The system also runs ZFS. The guests live on the ZFS filesystem. The OS & swap on the host are SSD and are not part of the ZFS system. What I'm seeing is, the host system won't touch swap for days. I guess when the guests get busier than an as yet unknown amount, the host starts using swap. The issue I'm having isn't so much it using swap, it's that the used swap seemingly is not liberated after it has been used, and I don't know exactly how to narrow it down. thanks, -- J.Received on Sat Aug 19 2017 - 15:08:33 UTC
