> Hi, if I were using Xen 3.2.1 and above and if I were to direct assign a block device to a HVM guest will I still play by the rules mentioned below for maximum size of the device?
If by "direct assign" you mean setting disk = [ 'phy:sda4,hda,w' ] in
the config file, then yes you are still going through the IDE emulation,
limited to 2^48 sectors, i.e. 2^57B, plus the dom0 limitations (and the
HVM domU limitations of course).
