I think (my vms vaxen are in storage) that vms supports larger disks. One needs to tweak a bit in one of the scsi mode pages for vms to like the disk though. The auto-remap must be turned off. At least for older versions of vms. Hm, from a quick check on google it appears that the limit in early vms (up to 5.5-2) was 8GB. Peter -- Peter Svensson !
