I joined the #openvz IRC channel and had the opportunity to discuss this issue. Basically the comment above is wrong... and OpenVZ doesn't really have a memory resource limits other than sane, platform dependent ones.
It was obvious that the various resource parameters, as documented in the OpenVZ User's Guide, can be somewhat confusing... especially with regards to the memory resource parameters.
Hopefully in the not too distant future, additional documentation will appear. The OpenVZ road map document (http://openvz.org/development/roadmap) mentions "provide Resources Administration Guide (UBC)".
It was also made clear that the best way to find out how much RAM / Resources an application will use is to actually use it and watch the /proc/user_beancounters file to see exactly what, if any resource parameters need to be adjusted.
If anyone can provide me with a copy of the Virtuozzo(tm) manual(s), I'm told they do a lovely job of documenting the various resource parameters... and I could use those documents to educate myself enough to help write a "Resources Administration Guide" for OpenVZ. Anyone have some manuals they could let me borrow?
