yes please! Michael/Sergio: can you make a trello card so we don't forget for next milestone? Gustavo/All: what buffer should we use to make this safe? (4-0.05)*10^9 bytes? (4-0.10)*10^9 bytes? (4-0.20)*10^9 bytes? Any preference or maybe ideas how to find the perfect number? I tend to think unless we have good ideas, we should rather add more buffer to be safe :). > > On Fri, Feb 13, 2015 at 1:04 AM, Gustavo Niemeyer > <[email protected]> wrote: >> 4GiB would actually be 300MiB *over* 4*10^9 bytes, so the image is already >> discounting that.
