how many gusets can I run with Centos 5.2? RH EL 5 is limeted to 4 guests while the advanced server is unlimeted.

Since there is no distinction between WS, ES, and AS in CentOS, Xen can support an unlimited number of guests. I am currently running 5 on mine...

I recently found a limit, the hard way, but of a different kind - the loop module comes restricted to 8 loop devices, it must be increased with "options loop max_loop=<1-255>" in modprobe.conf (and then reload the module, which means shutting down all vm's, so it's better to do this as soon as possible).

Just so that nobody mistakes this with some other kind of limit :)
