After modify the kmemsize we want to know if we get more fails at
/proc/user_beamcounters.

Can we reset the failcnt to see the new errors?

Thanks in advance.

Nope, except by stopping and restarting the VE. This is by design, the 
reason being that some programs would expect the number to increase and 
would be confused if it were to decrease or be 0.

Personally, I think it would be spiffy to be able to reset the 
failcounts, and I don't know what specific programs they have in mind 
which would be so confused by the failcounts being zeroed.

Ok. Thanks, but it can be a good thing, IMHO, for whislist, a failcnt
after last modification.

Bye.
