Re: [libvirt] 'dommemstat' is not working for LXC hypervisor.

Now it's showing Used Memory as 0. I don't know whether it's correct or not. I wrote a small script in the domain to check the used memory, which will run continuously in the infinite loop. dominfo 'domainname' is showing Used Memory as 0. Is this right way to check the Used Memory of that domain?
