Hi Folks,

I am trying to run fork bomb test inside a container to measure the extent of isolation containers provide. I am observing that even after putting all the available limits my host system becomes unresponsive after some time. Can someone throw light what should be the issue? Doesn't LXC handles situations like forkbomb?

I am running linux kernel 3.13.0.36generic.
I am setting below limits on the program,

 memory.limit_in_bytes 2G
 memory.soft_limit_in_bytes 1G
 memory.memsw.limit_in_bytes 3G
 memory.kmem.limit_in_bytes - 1G

Any help is appreciated.

Regards,
Nishant
