Swap memory different from what is configured in the container.

[Evaristo]

Dears, good morning! Could someone on the forum help me understand why the memory defined in the proxmox interface differs from the memory in the container.
In the proxmox, 16G of memory is defined, example:

root@pve0:~# cat /sys/fs/cgroup/lxc/100/memory.max
118111600640
The container has 8G of memory, example:
[root@ctsrv ~]# free -m
total used free shared buff/cache available
Mem: 112640 40 112531 8 68 112599
Swap: 8191 0 8191

could you post /proc/meminfo from both container and host?

Good morning! Fabian, I managed to understand what was happening, in fact my hypervisor had 8G of swap and I was putting 16G of swap in my container. And the container takes the swap defined on the host and not the one defined in the container.
