Hi. I have issue with incorrect memory side inside vm. I'm try utilize
memory balloon (not memory hotplug, because i have guest without
memory hotplug (may be)).
When domain started with static memory all works fine, but then i'm
specify in libvirt
memory = 16384 , maxMemory = 16384 and currentMemory = 1024, guest in
f/rpoc/meminfo says that have only 603608 Kb memory. Then i set memory
via virsh setmem to 2Gb, guest see only 1652184 Kb memory.
software versions
libvirt: 1.2.10
qemu: 2.3.0
Guest OS: centos 6.
