 | `--memory-swap`*       | The amount of memory this container is allowed to swap to disk. See [`--memory-swap` details](#--memory-swap-details).                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    |
 | `--memory-swappiness`  | By default, the host kernel can swap out a percentage of anonymous pages used by a container. You can set `--memory-swappiness` to a value between 0 and 100, to tune this percentage. See [`--memory-swappiness` details](#--memory-swappiness-details).                                                                                                                 |
 | `--memory-reservation` | Allows you to specify a soft limit smaller than `--memory` which is activated when Docker detects contention or low memory on the host machine. If you use `--memory-reservation`, it must be set lower than `--memory` for it to take precedence. Because it is a soft limit, it does not guarantee that the container doesn't exceed the limit.                                      |
-| `--kernel-memory`      | The maximum amount of kernel memory the container can use. The minimum allowed value is `4m`. Because kernel memory cannot be swapped out, a container which is starved of kernel memory may block host machine resources, which can have side effects on the host machine and on other containers. See [`--kernel-memory` details](#--kernel-memory-details).            |
+| `--kernel-memory`      | The maximum amount of kernel memory the container can use. The minimum allowed value is `6m`. Because kernel memory cannot be swapped out, a container which is starved of kernel memory may block host machine resources, which can have side effects on the host machine and on other containers. See [`--kernel-memory` details](#--kernel-memory-details).            |
 | `--oom-kill-disable`   | By default, if an out-of-memory (OOM) error occurs, the kernel kills processes in a container. To change this behavior, use the `--oom-kill-disable` option. Only disable the OOM killer on containers where you have also set the `-m/--memory` option. If the `-m` flag is not set, the host can run out of memory and the kernel may need to kill the host system's processes to free memory. |
