[Vserver] Talking about limits...
Hi. I tried limiting a vserver memory this week-end but had no luck doing it.. I tried setting the AS and RSS files in the configuration directory, but it doesn't seem to work the way I wanted. It kills processes (like apache in my tests) which need more memory than what I allowed in the limits. What I would like to do is limit the usage of RAM the vserver has. It seems that AS and RSS limits are the total ressources of a vserver. I want to give a vserver 128 megabytes of RAM and 1 gig swap space. I don't want the OOM killer to restrict applications to ask for more than 128 megs of RAM. I know I can do it, since how does VPS using vservers work then? -- Michel Belleau SERVICES INFORMATIQUES MALAIWAH.COM (418) 261-6412 -- http://www.malaiwah.com begin:vcard fn:Michel Belleau n:Belleau;Michel org:MALAIWAH.COM;Services Informatiques adr;quoted-printable:;;6374, avenue Royale;L'Ange-Gardien;Qu=C3=A9bec;G0A 2K0;Canada email;internet:[EMAIL PROTECTED] tel;work:(418) 261-6412 tel;cell:(418) 261-6412 x-mozilla-html:TRUE url:http://www.malaiwah.com/ version:2.1 end:vcard ___ Vserver mailing list Vserver@list.linux-vserver.org http://list.linux-vserver.org/mailman/listinfo/vserver

Did you try putting "virt_mem" in /etc/vservers/XXX/flags ? Sam. ___ Vserver mailing list Vserver@list.linux-vserver.org http://list.linux-vserver.org/mailman/listinfo/vserver

Hi Sam. I didn't knew about this option before, I'll have a look at the wiki right now!

Hi again Sam. I tried searching for the "virt_mem" flag and can't find anything... Where is the best place to search for that flag ?
