the df output of the system are:

Filesystem           1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda3             19299400  15981688   2337348  88% /
varrun                  478212        96    478116   1% /var/run

devshm                  478212         0    478212   0% /dev/shm

i think the memory is sufficient, to handle xend request.

now the other info which i got from the xend.log file are:
