Package: uml-utilities
Version: 20020415-3
Severity: wishlist
it would be really useful if uml_moo produced sparse image files: currently
it doesn't.
there is a simple workaround: run cp --sparse=always on the produced
image file, but this should actually be done by uml_moo.
regards
az

Hello,
according to my tests here (and comments in the source) uml_moo does
create backing files as sparse.
