Hi,
I have Xen 3.0.3 on an opensuse 10.2.
This is the status of my memory:

mihamina@asus:~> free 
       total      used      free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:   1777664    1769308   8356          0      16288     673308
Swap:  6626728    60        6626668


Whne I create a ("256M RAM", "1 vcpu") domU:
[...]
Error: (12, 'Cannot allocate memory')
[...]

Well. The message is quite clear. But my swap is still free (6GB man!).
I guess the Xen utility is not able to swap things. What is the common
way to free some RAM? is there a kind of 'swapwhatever <PID>' magic tool
you would recommend? I wont reboot my box in order to free memory!

Thanks in advance.
