I think (my vms vaxen are in storage) that vms supports larger disks. One 
needs to tweak a bit in one of the scsi mode pages for vms to like the 
disk though. The auto-remap must be turned off. At least for older 
versions of vms. 

Hm, from a quick check on google it appears that the limit in early vms 
(up to 5.5-2) was 8GB.
