I reimplemented KVM support | in vmstat -m for -CURRENT, so it should be more useful for that if you get | a core dump (admittedly, a rare thing ...). I didn't know about vmstat -m until the other day, I read something about `vmstat -m | grep cred` should be really low, under 100k or something (which mine is) I have no idea what KVM is in terms of kernel stuff :-) What should I be looking for, just any entry with a high mem usage? Should I setup a cron job to dump the results to a file each day so incase I do still get the panic i'll be able to look at the results atleast from the day before, maybe that would help me determine what was up if it's due to a memory leak? At the moment the most memory seems to be in 'routetbl' - 6456k in the HighUse and 1793k MemUse. All the rest are pretty much below 100k. Thanks!
