Setting /proc/sys/vm/swappiness to 0 didn't take changes in the swap usage until the moment. What you consulted to me about /sys/module/kvm_intel/parameters/ept is because it can serve like workaround until the publication of 2.6.32.x that fix this problem? Although, as I said in another mail, I don't have enabled this parameter: root@ubuntu:~# ls /sys/module/kvm_amd/parameters/ nested npt root@ubuntu:~# uname -a Linux ubuntu 2.6.32-dgb #1 SMP Mon Dec 14 06:18:06 ART 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux Regards, Daniel --=20 Fingerprint: BFB3 08D6 B4D1 31B2 72B9 29CE 6696 BF1B 14E6 1D37 Powered by Debian GNU/Linux Lenny - Linux user #188.598 --5PFZVUeDPxlnBcQp Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: Digital signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAks5UfwACgkQZpa/GxTmHTctnACdHhMno2EEPN068UkbNSkwP1rA bBUAniCVWFwPqwtRaK4fofO8R/8MrZV7 =mRFC -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --5PFZVUeDPxlnBcQp--
