Hi I have a ubuntu VM installed under Bhyve, but seem unable to change the RAM alocation from the current 2GB to 4. I have managed to create a 2nd VM with this allocation, but would prefer to just allocate ram to the first one grub-bhyve -m device.map -r hd0,msdos1 -M 2048M ubuntu bhyve -w -AI -H -P -s 0:0,hostbridge \ -s 1:0,lpc -s 2:0,virtio-net,tap0 \ -s 3:0,virtio-blk,./ubuntu.img \ -l com1,stdio -c 2 \ -m 2048M ubuntu i;ve updated to be grub-bhyve -m device.map -r hd0,msdos1 -M 4096M ubuntu bhyve -w -AI -H -P -s 0:0,hostbridge \ -s 1:0,lpc -s 2:0,virtio-net,tap0 \ -s 3:0,virtio-blk,./ubuntu.img \ -l com1,stdio -c 2 \ -m 4096M ubuntu but it complains about not being able to allocate memory. The box is a slightly greedy ZFS box, but even adding 10MB to the alocation above givrs rise to a warning re unable to allocate memory, failed to start VM. (and a 2nd VM was installed fine, and both run with the additional ram, so zfs is releasing ok). am i missing something? Paul.
