Re: [Xen-devel] xm mem-set issues

1. "xm mem-set <DomID> 32M" causes DomU / Dom0 to freeze irrespective of initial memory size. There is no output on the serial console when this happens so I am not sure where exactly the DomU is crashing. I know doing this is harsh but I think a check is required that will prevent users from shooting themselves in the foot.

Possibly. Perhaps a min-mem parameter in the xend config file or something like that.

2. I am able to do "xm mem-set <DomID> 8G" even if the total system memory is only 4GB. "xm list" reflects the 8GB value. Isn't this also a bug?

The bug here is that 'xm list' shows the current target allocation for the guest (as specified to mem-set) rather than what the guest is currently using. It'd be good to fix this.
