Hi!

Is it possible with OpenVZ to limit the used pages (which is showed in the physpages) and not the allocated (privvmpages) ones?

What happens if I set the oomguarpages to 256M limit and set privvmpages to unlimited? I saw that the oomguarpages and physpages always shows the same value. Is it real? Or if the OOM occurs this can be different?

The root of the problem is that lot of our customers runs programs which has very big difference between the privvmpages and the physpages value. They complaining all the time about this problem.

I think the allocated but unused memory means that the memory not really allocated from the physical memory. Am I right?

Thanks for any help and sorry for my late night bad English. Razz
