A few years back the interpreted virtual machine was fixed to allow an image to grow to the 4 GB limit. It is unclear to me if someone regressed the software to impose a 2GB limit again, or if the 2GB number mentioned is based on how things worked10 years ago?
John, it is mainly about windows VM , where the limit is hardcoded to 512MB of virtual memory. I don't remember what exactly Andreas said about it, but he strongly does not recommends to go over that limit. (I played with the limit and tried a VM with 1GB limit.. it works fine, but i didn't tested it with images whose size is close to it) and maybe 2GB will work as well, but i haven't tried it.

David Lewis and I spent a far amount of time a few years back to make the 32 vm 4gb clean. So are you running on stale knowledge here, or does the vm crash when to goes over 2gb?
sorry my english limit does not let me know understanding what you mean exactly. Jannik in the context of moose would like to see if we can have image larger than 500 mb (on mac it should be possible).
