Re: [libvirt-users] HugePages - can't start guest that requires them

Did you create a mount for the hugepages? If you did, that's maybe the problem. I did that also at first but with libvirt it isn't necessary and in my case, it broke hugepages... If I'm not mistaking, libvirt takes care of the hugepages mount. A while ago, I've written a wiki to use hugepages in libvirt and Ubuntu. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM%20-%20Using%20Hugepages Maybe this helps? ________________________________________ Van: G.

I'm getting "libvirtd[5788]: Failed to autostart VM 'atlas': internal error: Unable to find any usable hugetlbfs mount for 16777216 KiB" where atlas is one of my guests and 16777216 KiB is the amount of memory I'm trying to give to the guest. Yes, i can see the hugepages via numastat -m and hugetlbfs is mounted via /dev/hugepages and there is a dir structure /dev/hugepages/libvirt/qemu (it's empty). HugePages is big enough to accommodate the 16G i'm allocating... and changing the perms on that directory structure to 777 doesn't work either. Any help is much appreciated.
