After using the tricks listed in this post I was able to to do a modprobe -l which gave the following output:
kernel/fs/nfs/flexfilelayout/nfs_layout_flexfiles.ko
kernel/drivers/xen/xen-privcmd.ko
This implies that we have either statically compiled the hyper-v modules into the kernel (I don’t know if that is possible), or that we are not running the hyper-v modules.
@rneugeba, were these modules enabled when you were testing the MobyLinux distro?
I would love to be able to get this feature working, I have processes that momentarily take more than 8 GB of memory but would rapidly shrink down to a much smaller size at steady state. I would much rather not give my docker VM a full 8 GB of my memory all of the time for a job that would only need it for 5 minutes.
