[Netkit.users] Enormous disk usage on Fedora Core 4

[Enrico Gasperoni]

I don't think that the size of the disk files is the
problem, in fact on every machine I ever used netkit I
always had disk files that large and it did never
hurt.

Moreover the disk files are "sparse" (beacuse they
contain only part of the filesystem which itself
contains a lot of free space) so ls -l will tell you
they are very big while they are in reality much
smaller. As an evidence of this try a "df -k" before
and after creating a new machine and see what's the
real space the .disk occupies. The apparent size of
about 600MB is absolutely normal, considering it's the
size of virtual disk partition (you can check with
cfdisk /dev/ubd/0 in any virtual machine)
