<DIV>Hi, I have some problems with qemu ballooning.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I saw the qemu docs. I found the qemu monitor command "balloon" that can
request VM to change its memory allocation to value(in MB).</DIV>
<DIV>it requested qemu command line with "-balloon virtio", then I start qemu
into monitor mode with memory 512MB.</DIV>
<DIV>first show balloon information.</DIV>
<DIV>(qemu) info balloon</DIV>
<DIV>(qemu)balloon: actual=512</DIV>
<DIV>the command above if like this, I think the balloon device worked
fine.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>(qemu) balloon 400</DIV>
<DIV>there was no error when I executed this command.</DIV>
<DIV>but when I executed "info balloon", the result was still 512. </DIV>
<DIV>Is there something wrong?</DIV>
<DIV>please give me some ideas.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>thanks.</DIV>
