Help text

Select this option, if you want to enable the kernel interface to reduce the memory size of the system. This is accomplished by allocating pages of memory and put them "on hold".

Help text

Select this option, if you want to enable the kernel interface to reduce the memory size of the system. This is accomplished by allocating pages of memory and put them "on hold". This only makes sense for a system running under VM where the unused pages will be reused by VM for other guest systems. The interface allows an external monitor to balance memory of many systems. Everybody who wants to run Linux under VM should select this option.
