Re: [Lxc-users] RAM swap caps - what isn't allowed?

From the examples below, I *think* I cannot assign a smaller swap cap than RAM cap. Also, is there a way to specify that a container cannot use ANY swap, i.e. the swap cap is 0? Yes, you have to specify memory and memswp with the same values. The meaning of memory.memsw.limit_in_bytes is : memsw = memory_size + swap_size Assuming: memory_size = 256MB memsw = 256MB 256 = 256 + swap_size = swap_size = 256 - 256 = 0MB -- Lotusphere 2011 Register now for Lotusphere 2011 and learn how to connect the dots, take your collaborative environment to the next level, and enter the era of Social Business. http://p.sf.net/sfu/lotusphere-d2d ___ Lxc-users mailing list Lxc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/lxc-users

I haven't tried it but it may work if you have a different physical display available - maybe even a different graphics card is needed. If you have the host and container each at run level 5 then they would each be running an X server. I don't think they could both control the same graphics card - you'd probably need 1 card for each X server. I'm just guessing though ... chris Christoph Willing +61 7 3365 8316 QCIF Access Grid Manager University of Queensland May be I wasn't clear. My host is at level 3 always. So can the container be at level 5 and I don't have to use xvnc but just start my GUI Apps from the container itself ? --Nirmal -- Lotusphere 2011 Register now for Lotusphere 2011 and learn how to connect the dots, take your collaborative environment to the next level, and enter the era of Social Business. http://p.sf.net/sfu/lotusphere-d2d ___ Lxc-users mailing list Lxc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/lxc-users
