its own. Since it typically would only contain device files it would take up
very little room so usually isn’t a separate mount on most *nix OSes.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

I did the following today on my vm. It has an allocated space of 22G
total for the drive<br>
<br>
>From the Windoze box I see this 22,548,578,304 Ubuntu64-1104-flat.vmdk<br>

When I am running inside the VM I type this in a terminal and I see this.<br>
<br>

I am not sure who is eating the<br>
