One more question under the Principle of Least Astonishment. You have a
virtual machine with an initial of 1G and a STANDBY of 7G. So you can add
another 7G, right? Well yes for VM, but sorry, no for Linux:
# zqdirentry linux255 | grep STORAGE
COMMAND DEFINE STORAGE 1G STANDBY 7G
# zruncommand linux255 lsmem | grep "Total offline"
Total offline memory: 6656 MB
VM thinks there is 7G of STANDBY, but Linux seems to have taken a bit more.
So if the user tries to add 7G, that can be done in the user directory, but
in Linux only 6.5G or so can be added.
Would it be better to just add all that's available for Linux than to fail?
