Host ... they are applied via "pressure" on the guest memory via the |
| 19 |
balloon driver. The couple of windows images seem to create problems |
| 20 |
for the linux images in that linux seems to work better together but |
| 21 |
with windows hogging the memory (worst case is a win7 and win8 running |
| 22 |
concurrently, nether play well.) Have not looked further than reducing |
| 23 |
the memory allocated to windows (which triggered a genuine windows check |
| 24 |
on win7!) so they co-exist "uneasily" |
