(ie it's not guaranteed) I'm getting a bit confused here. "enforced" really doesn't fit into the context, or does it? What should it say/explain? [soft-limit] Who is target audience? And I think the last question is very important, because your technical mambo-jumbo might be just fine and tip-top to the last bit, but if nobody else understands it, then such help seems to be a bit helpless to me. Meaning: * allocated/guaranteed I can imagine; * ascertained gave me really non-sense translation, although that might be caused by crappy dictionary; * enforced - uh ... how? what? when? Is it when host is running low on memory and/or there are "many" VMs competing for memory? If so, please explain it somewhere if it isn't already(yeah, I'm trying to figure out the meaning). Or what happens when memory reaches 'soft-limit'? ---SNIP--- Soft limit This limit causes nxqddb to display a warning dialog box(see figure 5.19) if the number of matches found from your search exceeds the specified limit. Hard limit This limit tells nxqddb to abort the search operation if ... ---SNIP--- source ~ http://www.hsdi.com/qddb/usersguide/node37.html Or got it all wrong(wouldn't be the first time :]).
