Right - it'll let you overcommit like mad to create the containers to begin with. But it won't enforce the limit. You can use a script on the host to watch the actual usage and kindly ask the users to be careful. I've tried enforcing a smaller limit by doing lvcreate -L 2G -n delme1 lxc mkfs.xfs /dev/lxc/delme1 lvcreate -s /dev/lxc/delme1 -L 100M -n delme2 but /dev/lxc/delme2 does not get a 100M limit, unfortunately. -serge ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ What Every C/C++ and Fortran developer Should Know!
