question about VM's memory
Hello,
Run the "free" command we can see how many memory the system has.
Say the seen memory is 1GB, how to make sure all them are delicated memory, or some are delicated some are burst?
I ask this b/c I bought a VPS with 1GB delicated memory with OVZ, 'free' sees it's totally 1GB, but not sure if it includes the burst.
$ free -m
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 1024 286 737 0 0 147
-/+ buffers/cache: 139 884
Swap: 0 0 0
Thanks.

Some providers are not doing burst anymore because folks see 1GB guaranteed and 2GB burst then think: "hey I got a 2GB VPS that I can use 2GB of memory when I just paid for 1GB"
cat /proc/user_beancounters and read the maxheld field of the vmguarpages line. Then multiply it by 4KB. (That's only applicable when your container does not use/support VSwap.)
