Subject: [PATCH docs 5/6] pct: memory: change to cgroup v2
Date: Sun, 08 Nov 2026 21:35:27 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261108213430.139213-6-666goofy666@proton.me> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261108213430.139213-1-666goofy666@proton.me>
From: 666Goofy666 <666goofy666@proton.me>
PVE9 no longer uses cgroups v1, reflect cgroup v2 memory and swap
limits, where swap is defined independently from the memory limit.
