Hi all,

According to the Wikipedia ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_platform_virtual_machines ) both VirtualBox & VMware server support something called 'Live memory allocation'.
Does KVM support this as well?

What does this term mean exactly? Is it the same as "ballooning" used by KVM?


I guess it referring to memory allocation on first time access to the memory areas, Meaning the memory allocation will be made only when it really going to be used.

Like, two guests, each with 2 GB memory allocated only use 1 GB of host's memory (as long as they don't have many programs/buffers/cache)?

So yes, it's also supported by KVM.
