Hi, Tim. I think there wouldn't be any problem. Of course, you wouldn't be taking advantage of having OpenVZ check whether a memory request should be granted or denied (well... the check would occur, but the limits would be so high that in practice the check wouldn't matter). I'm not an experienced user of OpenVZ. Take my answer with a grain of salt. Cheers, -- Gastón Keller, M.Sc.
