To limit the memory i used a strange method...

In in my vps server (Hardware Node) i run the cat /proc/user_beancounters ... and dividi the number..

Example, i want to create a VPS of 256 MB of Ram in a hardware of 1 GB of ram 

root@hardwarenode#cat /proc/user_beancounters

.......
privvmpages       77431      77666     750000     825000
.......

So i divide the Limit and the barrier by 4...

(All the numbers are illustrated)

Is too bad do it by this way ??

Thanks!!!

This is bad method.
Each fresh installed VE has some default parameters by default.
For example, privvmpages limit equals by default 53575 pages.
It isn't related to the amount of memory installed on your machine!

If you want to set privvmpages barrier or limit to 256MB, do the following calculation:
(256 MB * 1024) KB / 4 KB = 65,536 PAGES
This is if page size on your architecture is 4KB (x86 arch).

HTH!

You can get the memory page size of the computer with:

getconf PAGE_SIZE

In Bash you can show the complete calculation for how many pages are 256MB with:

echo $(($((256 * 1024)) / $(($(getconf PAGE_SIZE) / 1024))))

But I've found this:
http://www.digipedia.pl/man/vzctl.8.html
And it seems to be able to modify the VPS memory with (I'm not sure):

vzctl set [vpsid] --vmguarpages 256M:257M --save
