Hello,

The size for the nethash, reported in the log is arround 20mo the first=20
time it I run :
ipset --restore < ip.sets

I deleted each set (using ipset -X on each other) and the recreated them,
the size of the nethash went to 40Mo

A few reloads later its size is 90Mo.

NB: The set definition file has been created manualy to avoid hundred=20
thousand calls to "ipset -A"
(i.e. without calling ipset --save). Can this cause troubles ?
