  • Thanks for your edit. rss + file_mapped makes 0.98 GiB (1057665024 bytes): while the ps output for VirtualBox shows 2.26 GiB (2378040 KiB). I haven't seen OOM killer in the logs. I guess this leaves out the option that the VirtualBox process is not the owner of all its page caches that it uses. Do you know if there's a way to find out which process is the owner?

  • I don't know. It starts to get a bit weird when you start working with programs that operate in a sort of odd way(such as virtualbox). I guess it really comes down to what the goal of this is. If you are just trying to limit the memory usage of Virtualbox, there are ways to do this(some very hack-ish, some less so). If you are just trying to get cgroups working for something else, then I would see if you can get it to work with something that isn't Virtualbox. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
