description: at the moment it is already set to 12GB and current value is only 1.1GB - i think this should be enough - not? The following software runs: qpsmtpd qmail stunnel apache proftpd mysql5 mysql4 munin-node The failcnt is also high directly after boot even when nobody has connected to the ve. Exactly the same image runs also fine on an old PIII with 512MB of RAM.
