[Wylug-discuss] Memory limit on Xen domain U

[John Leach]

Hi Owen,

thanks for confirming this.  I've just read that the 4gig limit was in
Xen 2.0 and was fixed in Xen 3.0.

Thanks for the talk.  It was great to hear about Xen from someone who
has deployed so much of it.  Big turn out too, so it seems a hot topic
at the moment.

John.
