I'm running dlc-1.de.oi.o under KVM. I found that trying to create disks bigger than 100GB would cause massive performance issues and I think even caused the guest to crash. My workaround was just to split the data across two virtual disks, each of 100GB. I don't know if this a limitation/bug in KVM or the Solaris kernel (this was back at oi_147).
