[lxc-users] lxc memory limit doesn't work

[Fırat KÜÇÜK]

in fact.

Today i setup lxd and lxc seperately.

on lxd setup i used:

lxc config set my-container limits.memory 4G

and it worked.

But i considered lxd is not quite stable for production. Than i used lxc
then i created a container and edit conf-file

lxc.cgroup.memory.limit_in_bytes = 2048M

but it doesn't work.

In both cases i used free -h or cat /proc/meminfo
