Ah, I see. So VSZ is actually the accumulated amount of address space within a vserver. Is there a tool to estimate the actual (virtual) memory consumption of a specific vserver? Just to answer the question: my box has x GB RAM and y GB swap space: how many vserver of that type will fit onto that hardware? > - RSS (Resident Set Size) is something completely > different, it's the ammount of data resident in the > system memory (available from RAM) ... That's another odd item. The RSS values reported by vserver-stat are ridiculously small (maybe off by a factor of 1024?). Just a few kB per active vserver running apache.
