WP/What are containers

2 bytes removed, 17:11, 16 March 2011
reformatted disk part
=== Disk ===
==== * '''Disk space ==== '''. In a default setup, all containers reside on the same hard drive partition (since a container is just a subdirectory).
OpenVZ introduces a per-container disk space limit to control disk usage. So, to increase the disk space available
to a container, one just needs to increase that limit -- dynamically, on the fly, without a need to resize a partition
or a filesystem.
==== * '''Disk I/O priority ==== '''. Containers compete for I/O operations, and can affect each other if they use the same disk drive. OpenVZ
introduces a per-container I/O priority, which can be used to decrease the "bad guy" I/O rate in order
to not trash the other containers.
==== * '''Disk I/O bandwidth ==== '''. I/O bandwidth (in bytes per second) can be limited per-container (currently only available in commercial Parallels Virtuozzo Containers).
=== Memory ===
All the containers share the same physical memory and swap space, and other similar resources like a page cache.
{{FIXME}}
=== Miscellaneous resources ===
