[pve-devel] some finding avout minimum static memory when pc-dimm exists

[Alexandre DERUMIER]

>>Yes. (I don't have check qemu code limit, but maxmemory=2TB is working) 

But, I don't known with current mapping how we can reach any maxmemory size with 255 slots.

maybe if use can specify maxmemory, we can do a different mapping related to the maxmemory.

Yes. (I don't have check qemu code limit, but maxmemory=2TB is working)

I don't like to have that 'maxmemory' restriction. If hotplug is enabled, I want 
to be able to 
add unlimited amount of memory?
