[lxc-users] Is it possible to change memory limits without restarting container?

[CDR]

The memory limit falis in Ubuntu Server

lxc-start -n utel-kde
lxc-start: call to cgmanager_set_value_sync failed: invalid request
lxc-start: Error setting cgroup memory.limit_in_bytes limit lxc/utel-kde
lxc-start: Error setting memory.limit_in_bytes to 5GB for utel-kde
lxc-start: failed to setup the cgroup limits for 'utel-kde'
lxc-start: failed to spawn 'utel-kde'


Yours
Philip
