KVM docs say that to the host OS, KVM is a single process (which indeed seems to be true in my experience) so you likely are able to nice it, after all, the whole point about KVM is that you get to use all Linux infrastructure like the scheduler etc. You may even be able to limit RAM consumption by ulimit then? -- kvm: access to /dev/kvm should have a different group-ownership https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/127704 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
