cherokee

hi all

I've Ubuntu 10.04LTS 64-bit running on a openvz container and Cherokee 1.0.8 compiled from source. The virtual memory usage of cherokee-worker is around 430 MB even after disabling I/O cache from Advanced -> I/O Cache -> NOT enabled.

Is this issue particular to openvz? Because many people reported to have successfully reduced virt memory usage by disabling io cache.

thanks in advance.

Can OpenVZ have SLES, CentOS, and OpenSuse guests?

I have a SLES Xen Host and a CentOS Xen host, so I was wondering, if I would be able to migrate these Xen guests (CentOS 5, SLES 10, OpenSUSE 11) to OpenVZ? None of the guests uses any kernel feaures. Can OpenVZ handle all those on one OpenVZ host? >>> More

To make this persist I added xt_state to /etc/modules. The… >>> More

Virtual memory on Linux doesn't add up?

as seen on Super User - Search for 'Super User'
I was looking at System Monitor on Linux and noticed that Firefox is using 441 MB of memory, and several other applications are using 274, 257, 232, etc (adding up to over 3 GB of virtual memory). So I switch over to the Resources tab, and it says I'm using 462 MB of memory and not touching swap.… >>> More
