[lxc-users] Container free memory vs host and OOM errors

[Mathias Gibbens]

Hi Tomasz,

  It looks like the fix for that regression wasn't included until 4.7.5.
I'm compiling it and will see if I still get the OOM errors. However, my
original question still stands: is the difference in reported available
memory between containers and the host intentional, or a bug?

Thanks,
Mathias
