Which bit of "sparse vm image file" didn't you understand?  I'm
using a 400GB of SSD for this testing....

$ df -h /mnt/fast-ssd
Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sdf        400G  275G  125G  69% /mnt/fast-ssd
$ ls -lh /mnt/fast-ssd/vm-500t.img
-rw------- 1 root root 500T Aug 15 13:21 /mnt/fast-ssd/vm-500t.img
$ du -sh /mnt/fast-ssd/vm-500t.img
275G    /mnt/fast-ssd/vm-500t.img

That is on a Samsung 840 EVO SSD, which just about everyone should
be able to obtain. Do you *really* think I have 500TB of SSDs lying
around?

Cheers,

Dave.
