Slow container conf diffs

[apmuthu]

An OpenVZ container (102) running in PVE 1.8 was backed up and restored onto another container (102) in PVE 1.9 machine and retained the /etc/vz/conf/102.conf file intact but was very slow to load for the first 2 times.

Another container 104 was created from the same template compiled in dab for PVE 1.9.

The two conf files were compared and the differences were:

102.conf (PVE 1.8)
==============
VMGUARPAGES="262144:9223372036854775807"
OOMGUARPAGES="262144:9223372036854775807"
LOCKEDPAGES="131072:131072"

104.conf (PVE 1.9)
==============
VMGUARPAGES="262144:unlimited"
OOMGUARPAGES="262144:unlimited"
LOCKEDPAGES="131072"

Now when porting it back from PVE 1.9 to PVE 1.8, will the "unlimited" parameter cause any backward-compatible issues?

will the "unlimited" parameter cause any backward-compatible issues?

No, that config is quite equal.
