What I'm seeing seems kind of related to the topic of XSA-300. Mainly something ballooning out pages.
The Debian Wiki advises reducing the amount of memory used by Domain-0. Perhaps the Debian Wiki should be advising to try to keep the Domain-0 maximum substantially higher than the actual allocation in order to allow for ballooning pages used for I/O? For my case it looks like Domain-0 can function with less than 300MB of allocated memory, but needs around 200MB of ballooned pages for I/O. -- (\___(\___(\______ --=> 8-) EHM <=-- ______/)___/)___/) \BS ( | ehem+sig...@m5p.com PGP 87145445 | ) / \_CS\ | _____ -O #include <stddisclaimer.h> O- _____ | / _/ 8A19\___\_|_/58D2 7E3D DDF4 7BA6 <-PGP-> 41D1 B375 37D0 8714\_|_/___/5445
