Hi.
While installing and using Xen on my two PCs, I see that the dom0 is still running out of memory on one PC.
I installed Xen in the same way (with same kernel version and same xen version) on the computers.
But on one computer
(labeled A), there is no problem, and on the other computer
(labeled B),
huge amounts of file page is consumed:

The two computers have the same parts except for the CPU (A: Intel i7 7700, B:
Intel i7 6700).
I've used 'top' to see which process is using a lot of memory, but there is no process at a glance:

Those statistics were, of course, sorted in memory usage and the 2 machines were in idle.

Are there any other tools I can use when this happens?
Thanks!
