VPS RAM question

[merkutio]

Hi,

I am just test driving a "starter" vps with webhosting.uk.com to see whether you can replace my old host.

So far everything went smooth, fast setup, responsive cusotmer service and a good network.

My question relates to the user_beancounters which determine the ram allocation of the vps. The starter vps plan guarantees min 256 MB RAM which can burst upto 1 Gig.

These are some of the values of my user_beancounters (barrier / limit):

privvmpages 262144 / 270000
vmguarpages 262144 / 2147483647
oomguarpages 65536 / 2147483647

What I find a bit strange is the vmguarpages value of 262144 (which equals to 1 GB).

If i understand correctly my guaranteed level of ram would only be enforced when the node encounters an out of memory situation. In a "normal" situation the guaranteed RAM would be 1 GB (though I only paid for 256MB). Could you please explan this setup?

Thanks a lot!

I have requested one of our vps staff members to take a look at this. They will update this thread or I will copy / paste their message.
