Host system:
Ubuntu 9,04 server
Xeon processor
4gb ram
Vbox 3.0.2 installed from jaunty repository
VM run on Vboxheadless mode
Guest system:
Ubuntu 9,04 server
2 gb ram assigned
now when we made a rsync copy from guest machine to other remote system (not the host) the host memory start to decrease of 100kb every 10 seconds and when go down to zero the guest machine freeze to pause with error:
22:28:29.510 PGM: Failed to procure handy pages; rc=VERR_NO_MEMORY rcAlloc=VINF_SUCCESS rcSeed=VERR_NO_MEMORY cHandyPages=0x8

22:28:29.511 VM: Raising runtime error 'HostMemoryLow' (fFlags=0x2)
22:28:29.511 Changing the VM state from 'RUNNING' to 'SUSPENDED'.
22:28:31.330 Console: VM runtime error: fatal=false, errorID=HostMemoryLow message="Unable to allocate and lock memory. The virtual machine will be paused. Please close applications to free up memory or close the VM"
and the only way to restart the guest machine is to poweroff it and reboot the host system,
we try to only reset the guest sysetm but the host doesn't release the unused memory and available mem is often zero.
thanks in advance
Vittorio
p.s. Sorry for my bad english
