The balloon driver is normally enabled, because it deliver some information about used memory (even if it does not manage memory). But some user reported kernel crashes with older kernels, so this option is there to disable the driver completely... > Also, the online help does not show this checkbox at all, so I wonder if this > is a glitch in the UI and should be grouped differently?

Sorry, this feature is quite new, and the online help is a few weeks behind... > Most importantly, is my assumption right that Use fixed size memory and > Ballooning are mutually exclusive? no (that flag just disables/enable the driver). _______________________________________________ pve-devel mailing list pve-devel@pve.proxmox.com http://pve.proxmox.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pve-devel
