If the disk image is just for swap you could get a script which removes the file after shutdown and recreates it before the machine starts up. Just as long as you either recreate the swap outside the virtual machine or get a script on startup to recreate it inside the virtual machine you should be able to reclaim the lost disk space every boot. -- Alex Tomkins <tomkins@xxxxxxxxxxxx> _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users |
