Hello,

While playing with Ganeti and using KVM as the hypervisor, this error occurred:

r...@node01:~# gnt-instance modify -B memory=512M prcolor
Failure: prerequisites not met for this operation:
error type: insufficient_resources, error details:
This change will prevent the instance from starting, due to 107 MB of
memory missing on its primary node

Then checking the correspondent primary node, I was playing manually
with KVM there and messing around with hugetlbfs.

As I've reserved a lot of RAM to hugepages, there was actually no room
to accommodate the instance (it was down previously).

It appears to me that Ganeti is not counting free hugepages as free
memory (I've greped the code). Plus, I could not find a way to pass
the parameter -mem-path to actually use the allocated hugepages for
the instance on the primary node.

Regards,

Miguel
