[qubes-users] Refreshing Qubes Manager data/statistic

2022-07-16 Thread Qubes
Is there a way to tell Qubes Manager to refresh its statistics, like 
disk space usage for example. Currently the only way for me to refresh 
the statistics is to close and open. There must be a better way?

Re: [qubes-users] VM initial memory

2022-07-16 Thread Qubes

I am trying to figure out the significance of the "Initial memory" setting
of a VM. Does it make any difference? For example VM A and B. A is
configured with 500 MB initial memory and 2000 MB Max memory. VM B is
configured with 1000 MB Inintial memory and also 2000 MB Max memory.



I think that at present a qube will start with maxmem and then balloon
down to initial memory. If memory is set too low the qube wont start,
as you say.
I don't think that memory allocated will drop below "Initial memory", so
if you are tight on RAM it makes sense to reduce it.



Funny, I thought it is the opposite. The VM will start with the initial 
memory and balloon up to max or back down to initial (minimum) and in 
between. I didn't think it will start with max and balloon down. It does 
help shed some light, thank you.
