[Gate-users] vGate8.2 Memory issue

Thu Feb 18 14:35:14 CET 2021

Ah, I wasn't sure but I understood.

In fact it's normal that the size of the installation file (.vdi) is different from the imported file.

I explain the .vdi installation file is a compressed file, it contains the minimum necessary. The import is a decompression process.

In a virtual machine, there are two ways to define the disk size: hard and dynamic :

In hard: the computer is told that the imported machine takes 40 Gb on the disk. So if the computer sees that the machine weighs 40 Gb, it doesn't mean that you have 40 Gb of data in the virtual machine. It is a way of cutting the disk space and setting limits to the machine.

In dynamic: vbox is asked to adapt the size of the vgate file to its actual ~20 Gb base size and to increase it if necessary.

See here :

Default vGate weighs 40 Gb.

Dear Arthur

Below is the screenshot of df command, maybe you can guess where the problem is

Recording is off, you can see it from setting

Yesterday I imported this machine and today it memory again reached to maximum.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Dear Khalid,
It's just possible that something may be recorded at the same time.
Is there a text file that is created at the same time as the simulation?
Try to look at the file size distribution  in the vgate :

Dear Gate Users,

I am using vGate8.2, its size at the time of installation is 18.1 GB, [image.png]

Its size gradually increases and approaches to 41.1 GB, you can see in below screenshot

[image.png]

 After it reaches to 41.1GB, it gives below memory error

[image.png]

The updates are also turned off, and simulation files are of just a few KB
After the simulation of almost 30 hours, my simulation files are only 451Kb as I am storing only projections but I wonder why size increases in GB's and finally system error of memory.

  Can anybody suggest the solution? I suffer this issue redundantly.

Thank you for your cooperation.
