[killmasta93]

HI
I Was wondering if someone could shed some light currently trying to enable hotplug for RAM but i keep getting this error
TASK ERROR: memory size (131072) must be aligned to 4096 for hotplugging
Running proxmox 7.4.3

Thank you

The linked post says that you should simply give 1 GB more. So instead of 128 GB, just give it 129 GB and see if it works.

There is probably only one way that doesn't work and one that does work. From my point of view, none of them seem to be right at the moment

Personally, I would stay away from it because it is simply fraught with too many potential problems and in the end it doesn't work as expected.
