Thanks for your comments. I see that Martii you do almost exactly as I
do. It's good to know it works as intended.
I've also tried sdelete on a small VM and the backup has dropped from 5.6Gb to 3.4Gb on a 30Gb partition disk. Quite impressive. I've just also found "zerofree". A linux utility I didn't know about that zeros free space on ext2/3 filesystems. The device has to be unmounted though. Thanks again. Aleix. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users |
