From: Maxim Cournoyer <maxim.cournoyer <at> gmail.com> To: bug-guix <bug-guix <at> gnu.org> Subject: libvirtd daemon scans /gnu/store for unknown reasons, uses 600 MiB of RSS memory Date: Tue, 09 Apr 2024 17:07:05 -0400
Hi,
I've discovered that libvirtd on my Guix System consumes an excessive
amount of resident memory, about 600 MiB. Other GNU/Linux users report
their daemon uses about 20 MiB. This is when no virtual machine is in
use.
Attaching strace to a freshly started libvirtd process, we can observe
the following strace output:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ sudo strace -vf -s600 -p$(pgrep libvirtd)

I suspect that this walking of /gnu/store has something to do with the
high memory usage of libvirtd.
