hey, i'm trying to let docker chew up as much of my memory as i want but i can't convince it to. i've gone into preferences -> virtual machine and set it to 48GB but
docker stats
is still showing
MEM USAGE / LIMIT
stats that look like
897.4MiB / 2.909GiB
. anyone know why this is?

You must use macOS 12.4 or later on M1 machines. There is a kernel bug in earlier macOS versions that will cause a crash if you use more memory, so lima will automatically cap your request, even when you ask for more.

What does
sw_vers
say?
For reference: <https://github.com/lima-vm/lima/issues/795%7CReduce the memory to <= 3 GiB, when QEMU >= 7.0 && macOS <= 12.3 && CPU == M1 · Issue #795 · lima-vm/lima>
