I should add that to fix this while running you need to do, as root: echo 2 > /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/run This makes the pages duplicate, might take a second or two and disables KSM. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to qemu-kvm

[Bug 1368439] [NEW] Random high latency with KSM enabled and multiple CPU sockets

2014-09-11 Thread Lawrence Dudley
Public bug reported: If running a box with multiple CPU sockets and Ubuntu 14.04 Server 64-bit qemu-kvm with KSM enabled as by default, random high latency occurs on network connections for VMs, as high as 4000ms - 5000ms. The host also reports high IO wait times. Disabling KSM fixed this for me.
