When setting/getting ram, PHYSPAGES should be used instead. You may actually just want to use the --ram switch which allows you specify the size like "--ram 1G" or "--ram 1024M".
PRIVVMPAGES was used in the past based on googling, but the --ram switch is now setting PHYSPAGES instead. the free command does not reflect the set memory presently due to using PRIVVMPAGES.
Thanks.

Thanks, that's an excellent suggestion.
What actually is the difference between the limit set with
--ramand--privvmpagesthough?Submitted by pcfreak30 on Wed, 02/19/2014 - 21:21 Comment #2

And I just know to use PHYSPAGES as thats what --ram changes and its the only way "free" command is updated to reflect it.
Also I dont see any explicit option for vswap?

Opps, misread your question. I dont think there is a difference, but if OpenVZ decides to change the internals again I see "--ram" as a "meta" switch that will auto-handle the correct way to do it.

Ok, in future releases we will set --ram at the same time as --privvmpages
