Hey guys, I'm usually the quiet one, but have a discussion with a provider right now in terms of this:
Can you have the following specs for a VPS, at all?:
128MB guaranteed RAM
256MB Burst on top
128MB vSwap just in case
So basically, vSwap and Burst at the same time - possible or not?
I'm only a VPS user, not somebody who works behind the scenes with OpenVZ, hence I ask you guys :-)
And it if is possible, how would it "look like"?
I give you my take, not sure how right or not right it is:
It could be that you can't have both, considering they are "old" and "new" techniques OpenVZ uses afaik. BUT, as I don't know, IF it were possible, it would, from within a VPS look like this:
free -m would show something like this:
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 384 50 334 0 0 32
-/+ buffers/cache: 18 366
Swap: 128 0 128
and beancounters would be setup to reflect the assignment of 128MB to guaranteed and the 256MB to Burst. At least that's how a system with Burst and "normal Swap" would look like.
So what do you say guys?
Thanks in advance!!
