Hi all, My machine has been mostly updated to lenny from etch. When etch was installed, I had 2 Gig of ram.
I use virtualbox to run a guest OS. I felt that the memory that I could allocate to the guest was insufficient (too much swapping) so I added 2 Gig more of ram (same brand and model of ram as the original). The memory is recognized at boot just fine. This is the contents of /proc/meminfo MemTotal: 906792 kB MemFree: 349352 kB Buffers: 101224 kB Cached: 203496 kB SwapCached: 0 kB Active: 203744 kB Inactive: 185136 kB HighTotal: 0 kB HighFree: 0 kB LowTotal: 906792 kB LowFree: 349352 kB SwapTotal: 2931820 kB SwapFree: 2931820 kB Dirty: 404 kB Writeback: 0 kB AnonPages: 84180 kB Mapped: 50976 kB Slab: 151092 kB PageTables: 1716 kB NFS_Unstable: 0 kB Bounce: 0 kB CommitLimit: 3385216 kB Committed_AS: 218696 kB VmallocTotal: 122576 kB VmallocUsed: 47516 kB VmallocChunk: 70344 kB As I understand what I am reading, I have (about) 1 Gig allocated as system memory and (about) 3 Gig allocated as swap. How do I change this so that I can increase the amount of ram allocated to the virtual machine? I tried just increasing the allocation in the configuration of the virtual machine, but the virtual machine just hung.
