Heh, I've reported that stuff many times, until it was fixed in recent kernels (about 3.1 or 3.2).

No luck for 2.6.32. All older pv_ops kernels do have that issue with XCP toolstack. Use -xen kernels (like 2.6.18-xen, or forward ported from suse f.e. 2.6.34-xen, 2.6.37-xen, 3.1-xen  and so on).

Oh ! Do you have any URL so that I can track for this bug update ?
And till the time this BUG gets resolved, how do I obtain a 2.6.32-xen ?

I'm little familiar with Kernel Compilations but not too much. I would appreciate if you can guide me.

Hello List,

On XCP1.5 ballooning of CentOS6.X does not work correctly.
The DomU can be ballooned up only till its start_target_mem and seems to disobey the static max.

For e.g If I start a CentOS6 DomU with 4GB RAM then ballooning works fine between 256MB to 4GB but it cant go beyond 4GB though it has static max as 16GB.

I can confirm same issue on XCP1.1, so it might be something only with CentOS6.
