Xen 3.0.4 - Ballooning

["Sébastien RICCIO" <sr@swisscenter.com>]

Hi,

Maybe it's a dumb question, but I'm actually trying to understand how 
the memory allocation works within Xen.

I try to give 128MB to a domU and see if it increases for example when I 
"nano" a 500mb file, but the process
just get killed when it reachs the 128MB memory limit.

How do I configure the guests so they can ask for more memory until a 
limit is reached ?

Thanks a lot for your help.

Best regards
