[pve-devel] [PATCH] memory hotplug patch v6

[Dietmar Maurer]

Form my point of view, this is much too complex. I just want to add RAM and CPU
cores,
but I do not want to care about NUMA architecture or DIMMs. Many users are not
familiar with
those concepts.

How is that handled by other plattforms (vmware, xen, vbox)?
