I was having a problem when the host OS was allocating RAM for mapping the VMDK disk file upon any disk IO operation in the guest system. So for example in my case I was having 32Gb RAM and 10GB ram for guest. At the end of the day all 32GB were consumed, because the host was mapping the VMDK in memory. After I moved VMDK to an SSD - it had stopped mapping anything into memory and the problem is gone. | |
