External Email - Use Caution OK. Did make a new setup with 16Gb. Restarted. Hope I can give you positive feedback tomorrow. Best Pål

If most all swap space is in use, then it’s likely something is under-running or exhausting the available physical RAM. Some machines start to swap what’s in memory out to disk files when only 80% of RAM is in use. But disk I/O from loading swap files in/out of memory can cause the machine to slow down or thrash and never finish processing. With no consequential or RAM hungry applications running on the host, then the host should be able to essentially run idle with 8G of RAM leaving 24G to assign to the VM. - R.

According to ‘top’ all is used, except 140Mb. Swap has 1Gb of which 780Mb is used. Does swapping use lots of CPU? It is 100% most of the time.

Assuming the VM has ~8G assigned then the host should have 16-24G RAM total. It reads like the VM is thrashing, e.g., swapping out to disk due to lack of RAM - which can cause a crash. I would try running the VM on a host machine that can provide more RAM. So if the VM is currently running with 8G, then try doubling it to 16G (on a host with at least 24 or 32G RAM).. - R.

I am running a child-MRI where I got a message about a large defect which would run slowly or crash. FS is still running after more than 10 days (70%-100% CPU use), but there are nothing written to disk for 10 days. It is working on retesselation of defect 162. Is there any reason to wait it out? Or will the results be unpredictable? Best Pål G.
