Re: Virtual Kernel hogs up space

[Matthew Dillon <dillon@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

:No I am talking about the space taken up by the virtual kernel file[s]

    I'm not sure how much I can help.  It sounds like you haven't allocated
    enough space for the virtual kernel.  If the virtual kernel's disk
    image is on /mnt then you may have created it as a sparse file instead
    of using 'dd' to pre-allocate the whole thing.

    The virtual kernel's binary might be chflagged, to remove it you
    could 'chflags noschg <path>' and then RM it.

    In anycase, you want at least a few gigabytes of disk space to play
    with virtual kernels.
