For low-memory domains (roughly under 400MB) our automatic memory limit computation comes up with a limit that's too low. This is because the 0.5 multiplication does not add enough for such small values. Let's increase the constant part of the computation to fix this. --- src/qemu/qemu_domain.c | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/qemu/qemu_domain.c b/src/qemu/qemu_domain.c index 28b8ee4..c38c86e 100644 --- a/src/qemu/qemu_domain.c +++ b/src/qemu/qemu_domain.c @@ -2197,7 +2197,7 @@ qemuDomainMemoryLimit(virDomainDefPtr def) * limit' has been chosen: * (1 + k) * (domain memory + total video memory) + (32MB for * cache per each disk) + F - * where k = 0.5 and F = 200MB.
