Default New RAM accounting?

Surprizingly i've seen today that FreeRAM is 0 Kb, i ve logged on via ssh and checked RAM usage, everything been as usual if check running processes, no process hogged RAM or CPU,
However i can see that there been added "Swap"

Code:
$free -m
             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:           512        342        169          0          0          0
-/+ buffers/cache:        342        169
Swap:          512          7        504


and memory usage is now counted with VIRT, not RSS as before, if taking to consideration that VIRT and RSS may differ 3-10 times, i.e. for mysqld

mysql 21904 0.8 11.2 227056 59140 ? S<l 14:13 3:02 /usr/local/mariadb/libexec/mysqld


227 Mb VIRT, but only 59 RSS ( i've cut buffers twice in my.cnf , so its 227 Mb, instead of 300, while RSS remains almost same)


Feeling now that Virtuozzo doesnt "gurantee" any physical RAM, but is counting "nothing" (virtual RAM, which is not used by apps, just partially...)

There been no announces, etc. Can tektonic staff explain the new RAM accounting rules ?

I have almost identical config of server on another machine (not Virtuozzo) consumed RAM is 150 Mb, here previously been about 150 megs too, now its counted as 400, more than twice more (!)

I'd like you to put a ticket in about this. Whatever it is it is just a cosmetic error, ie. no processes are being killed. It is just due to how /proc/meminfo is being virtualized. We need to know your VPS details to look into it as the problem is not widespread.

You're fast, Jason fixed the problem in 5 min after dropping the ticket at HelpDesk

TY )

turned back the old limits and buffer sizes for php-fpm and mysql

Code:
#free -m
             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:           512        120        391          0          0          0
-/+ buffers/cache:        120        391
Swap:            0          0          0
