The memory display queried within an LXC container created using the CT template is incorrect.

[labulac]

Hello, I am using version 8.1.3 of pve on an amd64 architecture. When I create an LXC container using a CT template and limit the CPU and memory size of the LXC container, I find that after starting the LXC container, the CPU display is correct, but the memory display still shows the host's memory and does not reflect the limited size. Please help me investigate this issue. Thank you!

That's really strange and I cannot reproduce it. What is the output of /proc/cmdlline? Did you stop and start the container in between (maybe the configuration is out of date)? Please try stopping and starting the container,

I think this is an Alpine-specific issue. I can reproduce on an Alpine container but not a Debian one. Alpine uses busybox "free" which seems to look in a different place for memory info than the standard one.

Thank you for your response. You are right. I created a new LXC container using the Debian template, and when I checked the memory size inside the container, it was indeed the limited size. It might be an issue specific to Alpine.
