I don't like to have that 'maxmemory' restriction. If hotplug is enabled, I want to be able to add unlimited amount of memory? Yes. (I don't have check qemu code limit, but maxmemory=2TB is working) Not sure if we really need 2TB with hotplug? I mean, if someone really starts a VM with

(With my last patch, I fix the static memory to 512MB(or 1GB) if you want, so all upper memory is dimm devices. Note that 4TB is the physical limit for 64bits system. (and for qemu) A real 64bit system is not limited to 4TB, because 2^64 is 18446744073709551616. But I guess current

Like this we only need 1 memory option (min:512), which seem easier for user. What do you think about it ? Also, from my point of view we can require a limit of 1GB mem. I guess this would be safer to boot. ___ pve-devel mailing list

Hi, I have done some tests, and it's seem that the minimum memory when pc-dimm exists, is 512MB (I have read some discussion mailing about pci hole, but I don't understand all the things ;). On a linux machine booting fine with -m 128 , it don't work with -m 128 -pcdimm 1024 ... for example.
