virtualbox.org

Hi,

I installed VB 4.2.4 on Oracle Linux 5.8. I created a virtual server with 120 GB ram and 16 processers. I installed Oracle Linux 5.5 as guest system.

When I copy a lot of data (60GB total) the guest then the guest freezes after 30GB. This happens with dynamic disk and fixed disk type.
I also tried with 12 and 8 cpu's, but that didn't help. Then the server also hangs.

Any idea's what it could be?

VBox.log wrote: 00:00:00.517563 Host RAM: 193422MB total, 875MB available [it looks like you have a 200GB host]
...
00:00:00.629627 RamSize <integer> = 0x0000001e00000000 (128 849 018 880, 120 GB)

A VM can't use more RAM than is available. You have not said what the VM is, and that can make a big difference to the advice. The ideal is not to load resource hogging VMs: load a moderate VM and give it moderate RAM.

The second log file shows more available memory, but it's still substantially less than 120GB (btw, why didn't you put both logs in the same zip?).

Hi mpack,

When I check the process monitor 34GB is used. And the rest of the 190GB is unused. So I don't know why in the log you see that 32 GB is available.
The VM is going the be used to install Oracle Fusion. And it needs 120GB RAM.

I uploaded the first log file, then got an error on the second log file that is was to large to upload.

Thanks.
