[lxc-users] About size of images

[Marcel Sánchez Toledano]

Hi,

I'm right now working in a project comparing SIMCTL (VNUML utility, UML)
with LxC. In VNUML the aprox. size of virtual machines filesystems located
in /usr/share/vnuml/filesystems are 2GB:


*marcel at ubuntu:/usr/share/vnuml/filesystems$ ls -lh*
*total 4.1G*
*-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2.0G Oct  9  2013 debian5.fs*
*-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2.0G Jul  3 07:52 debian6.fs*


And the size of a LxC rootfs is 246MB:

[image: Imatge inserida 1]


How is this possible and which is the explanation of this? The difference
of sizes is huge!

Thanks,

*Marcel Sánchez Toledano*
