2011-11-14 Thread Ralf Spenneberg
I have discussed the matter with Guido Günther from the Debian team. After some testing he reenabled the numa feature in the debian package: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=648323 Would you like to follow him? ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #648323

I can confirm this and I am very dissapointed that still after more than a year this issue has not been fixed. I am currently running Ubuntu precise (development, the next lts) on HP DL 585 G2 with 4 Dual Cores and thus 4 Numa cells. Numactl shows the hardware: # numactl --show policy: default

Hi, noone seems to have commented on the reason why numa is disabled in libvirt. In Ubuntu, both libnuma1 and numactl are in universe. So in order toenable those in libvirt (which is in main), we would have to do a main inclusion request (MIR) for those. But, they are also disabled in debian.

Regarding the change from Opinion to Confirmed, ordinarily I'd object, but in this case I agree - this *is* a bug, whose resolution potentially depends on some other bugs. I don't object to numa being enabled if the underlying bugs get fixed, so if you have time, by all means please do work on

I can confirm this. Most of our hosts have 64GB RAM and 2 Intel Nehalem hexa-cores. With 3 VM's using 16GB RAM each. I noticed performance degredation and the host also swapped out a lot of memory. The swapping degraded performance dramatically. vm.swappiness=0 in /etc/sysctl.conf did not help.

You can easily compile the latest libvirt version yourself: aptitude install build-essential, libxml2-dev, libgnutls-dev, libdevmapper-dev, libparted0-dev, libvirt-dev ./configure –prefix=/usr –exec-prefix=/usr –libdir=/usr/lib –includedir=/usr/include make make install There is a configure

yes I see this with 10.04 and 10.10 it appears that libvirt was not built with libnuma. I also agree and would like to see this corrected. 10.04 libvirt version 0.7.5 10.10 libvirt version 0.8.3 if you need the capabilities I will be more than happy to upload -- libvirt not recognizing

Hi there, I used the latest RHEL6 Beta with libvirt-0.8.1-13.el6.x86_64 and the latest CentOS 5.5 with libvirt-0.6.3-33.el5_5.1. I tried Ubuntu 8.04 and 10.04 and both show about 50% of the performance that RHEL and CentOS do. This is a serious problem. No company, that wants to virtualize
