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

Hello All, I'm trying to enable hugepages, I've turned off THP (Transparent Huge Pages), and enabled hugepages in memoryBacking, and set my 2MB hugepages count via sysctl. 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.
