I just bought a VPS from MT, and in in stats for memory i see: Total Memory: 3.85 GB Used: 3.82 GB Free: 28.96 MB Buffer: 190.26 MB Cached: 1.61GB And they supposedly guarantee 256MB? What the deal? Am i reading this wrong? Sorry im new to dedicated/vps
You'd surely get infraction for the bump... Anyway, I don't think its a VPS...cause ~4GB is generally found on dedi boxes or dedi grids in MT's words. What you need is server optimization if I'm not mistaken.
The 'free' and 'top' will basically show the actual RAM of the entire server. To know what is allocated, go to your Virtuozzo Control Panel then go to Resource and click on Extended. Then go to Primary UBC Parameters and look up the soft limits of vmguarpages. Take that number and multiply by 4 (as in 4k blocks) and that should give you the Guaranteed RAM allocated to your VPS. A VPS is still a slice of the whole server and shares its resources. TOP seems to be made for the server and does not show the VPS as a server. In my case, the soft limits shows 196,608 and multiplying that with 4, I get 786,432 bytes which works out to 768mb which is Guaranteed RAM on my VPS.
vmguarpages 0 8,192 maximum 4KB pages Memory allocation guarantee so 8,192 x 4 = 32768 I only have 0.0312 megabytes? =\
No, 32768 bytes is 32mb. This does sounds kind of low. Something is definitely wrong somewhere. I seriously do hope that my calculation is wrong.
