8 Terabytes of memory on a VPS

It seems after a server migration there seems to be a slight misconfiguration... somewhere

  • Ask your provider to enable vswap for you.

  • Is it OVZ?

    I remember seeing this before. I do not remember the resolution. Seems I don't remember much about about it all other than I have seen it before :P

    It's a openvz bug. The ram limits just need to be applied again and it'll be fine.

    Can't remember the exact reason for it happening but if you google "openvz 8tb ram" you'll find heaps of threads.

    I see. It was somewhat amusing to see that's what I get for ~$2/m.

    The programs i run on the VPS won't likely go over 32MB nevermind any higher, I'll just leave it as it is.

    I've seen a bug very similar to this on a VolumeDrive VPS. However, it was not 8TB of Ram, it was 32GB. You're still not able to go above your ram limit.

  • sucks when someone enables vswap on a non-vswap enabled kernel.

    I'm sure your host will notice soon enough ;)

  • Speaking of solus showing wrong RAM...

    Try reboot your openvz and load the status page right at that moment, it will show the RAM usage of the node. Not sure if they ever patched that, had good times with that bug :-P

  • The problem is usually Vswap not being enabled for that particular VPS, the host must enable this on the hostnode to fix the 8TB ram display bug

  • for me that bug or not is not problem for me since my vps running ok
