Hi guys,

I'm trying vzsplit to generate a starting configuration for my vps but I'm not sure why the results are what they are, I'm hoping someone can help me clarify.

First up here's how I generated the config:

vzsplit -s 0 -n 4 -f test

Then I applied the results to my first vps, this is what vzcheckmem has to say:

vzmemcheck -v
Output values in %
veid        LowMem  LowMem     RAM MemSwap MemSwap   Alloc   Alloc   Alloc
              util  commit    util    util  commit    util  commit   limit
101           0.17   26.25    0.86    0.15   12.07    0.62   12.07   13.10

vzmemcheck -v -A

If I want to split the server 4 ways and my low mem is always limited to 832MB, why does the first vhost commit to using 413MB? Shouldn't that be 208MB, or at least something a bit more conservative than half the low mem?

Also swap seems to commit to 12% instead of the expected (near) 25%. Could that be because I have 2 swap partitions and vzsplit only finds one?
