Did the RAM limits change for Home edition for 16.05.2 to 4GB?

MichaelHigginson

Did the limits for RAM on Home edition get changed with SFOS 16.05.2 MR2? I'm only seeing 4GB after update. Still only showing 4GB after rolling back to SFOS 16.05.1 MR-1. I was seeing 6GB usable before upgrade.

    Now that this thread has been open almost 2 weeks and i believe it's determined the RCA is mem=6G has there been any progress on this problem in Sophos Development?

    I'd much rather see something along the lines of the license being 8G and going into failsafe mode if there is more memory than that then sit here with half my memory not being used due to a kernel flag. Most people should be able to pare down their host to 8G without a ton of effort unless they are buying 16G dimms. 6GB isn't an option for those with single dimm slots.
