Hi,
i had installed the last updates for FC6 in a machine with 1 Giga of RAM. The machine's ip is 136.145.116.88.

now, i execute a "xm create xentemplate_6 -c", and voila! i lost approx 250 Mbytes of PHYSICAL RAM, :-( ------------------------------------------------------ [root@dhcp-crl-116-88 ~]# free total used free shared buffers cached Mem: -> 764928 <- 375796 389132 0 17536 281980 -/+ buffers/cache: 76280 688648 Swap: 2031608 0 2031608 ------------------------------------------------------
then, shutdown the virtual machine, and i did not get back the lost 250 Mbytes of RAM. anybody knows how to get back my physical memory after to shutdown the virtual machine? is that behavior a bug?
if i run two virtual machines, my physical memory is reduced until 512 MB of Physical RAM. At this time, the only way to get 1Gbyte of RAM is rebooting the machine :-(.
Thanks a lot for your suggestions.
