VM Going into Aborted Mode on Linux Host

Post by Sarhan Aashir »

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to report an issue I've encountered with my VM running on our Linux host. The problem is that the VM is going into an "aborted" state intermittently, and I'm seeking assistance to resolve this issue.

I have attached the log file of the recently crashed/aborted VM.

Not a "Using VirtualBox" question. Topic moved to "Linux Hosts".

I would start with the fact that you are close to over-allocating RAM (too close for stability). You can only give a VM resources that are not already in use.
00:00:00.221439 Host RAM: 32093MB (31.3GB) total, 12234MB (11.9GB) available
...
00:00:00.769293 RamSize <integer> = 0x00000002ef800000 (12 608 077 824, 11.7 GiB)
I would reduce the VM's RAM allocation to 8192MB.

On the other hand you have paid no attention to graphics RAM: a desktop OS will need more than 16MB. I would max this out (128MB).

Please note that allocating idle CPU cores to the VM will make it run slower. Make sure the additional cores are actually needed. Many of us find that 2 cores is nearly always best unless you're doing lengthy batch compiles.
