Warning (VZ): You are only only guaranteed 24 Megabytes of ram! 512 Megabytes is recommended. !! !! Warning (VZ): You are only only guaranteed -204 Megabytes of ram when the system is out of ram! 512 Megabytes is recommended. !! please help me find out if this is something i should contact my vps provider.
i got the following answer: Boris, Your RAM available is determined by the size of the privvmpages parameter. vmguarpages shows the RAM that you are guaranteed when the system is out of RAM which does not mean anything inside your VPS because our nodes are never committed to the level that the parameter is used. The only parameter that you are hitting the maximum on is kmemsize. The last number shows the number of failures in kmemsize allocations which is quite a high number. If you upgrade the system RAM we will upgrade this parameter for you also. However, the problem appears to be with an installed application as most of our VPS customers never hit the max kmemsize that your VPS is set at. kmemsize 10656740 10674452 17510400 19456000 406245 Please let us know if you have any more questions. ---- can you help me decipher it?
although i got to say their tech support has tolerated me extensively as i bug them often with things that are little to do with anything other than my absence of knowledge.
Right, well that to me doesn't sound like something that a end user like yourself should have to deal with. Ask them if their able to fix it?
thank you very much for your help. but what exactly should i ask them to fix? P i have no idea whats wrong) thanks in advance, an for the help so far.
Just ask them if they can correct that involved parameters and also post the results stated in your OP.
