With sparse you can make sparse files, which is fun because you can experiment with really large devices: ><fs> sparse /tmp/test.img 100G ><fs> run ><fs> sfdiskM /dev/vda , ><fs> mkfs ext2 /dev/vda1 # very long pause here ... ><fs> mount /dev/vda1 / To see the real (ie. allocated) size of the sparse file, use the du command, eg: ><fs> !du -h /tmp/test.img 1.6G -rw-rw-r-- 1 rjones rjones 100G 2009-11-04 17:40 /tmp/test.img
