+.BI "--max-cpu " cpu-ratio
+The maximum virtual-to-physical cpu ratio, as a floating point number
+between zero and one. For example, specifying \fIcpu-ratio\fR as
+\fB2.5\fR means that, for a 4-cpu machine, a maximum of 10 virtual
+cpus should be allowed to be in use for primary instances. A value of

+on it.

+.BI "--min-disk " disk-ratio
+The minimum amount of free disk space remaining, as a floating point
