Subject: [PATCH qemu-server 2/2] config: document default balloon behavior
Date: Thu,  5 Feb 2026 13:52:07 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260205125208.311721-3-m.sandoval@proxmox.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260205125208.311721-1-m.sandoval@proxmox.com>

The behavior for this key is the following:
- balloning=0: Disabled
- Not defined in the config: Enabled
- balloning=N: Enabled, and target memory set to N MiB

Instead of special-casing balloning=1 (or turning it into a property
string) to enable the drive without setting a target memory size, we
simply document the current behavior better.
