Hi,

I am struggling to setup a container with unlimited parameters,
including the swap.

I put in my config:

PHYSPAGES="unlimited"
SWAPPAGES="unlimited"

But the swap stays at zero.

Any idea how to have all the swap of the HN on the CT, if possible by
not calculating the amount by hand?

Best,

Ok found the solution, apparently, commenting SWAPPAGES or removing it
from the config makes the CT to have access to the whole swap of the
HN.

Which is different from setting it to "unlimited". Strange, but it works...

I wonder if that's a bug or the intended behavior. It doesn't sound
consistent with using 'unlimited' like other attributes. I would be
worried if this were a bug that gets fixed later on before you have a
chance to configure your CTs appropriately and then they start acting
not as intended per your requirements.

Strange indeed. Can you please revert back to config when it was not
working as expected, restart CT and then provide the following:

- cat /etc/vz/conf/$CTID.conf
- cat /proc/bc/$CTID/resources
- uname -a
- vzctl --version
