Comment 0 for bug 1294283

The generation 2 VM has been assinged a memory range of 512 MiB-4096MiB with a starting memory of 512 MiB. It should get additional memory when needed, but the total available memory in the VM stays at the intial 512 MiB and the kernel starts swapping instead of allocating more memory from the host.
