Hello,
I have installed new 10.2.2214 release and i watch ng Init and disk space usage, i can’t find different behavior from last one
Now i (by program change panel) discarded NG for the following reasons:
-
NG use embeded virtualbox , so if i want to use virtualbox for other testing purpose i can’t because you can’t have two hypervisors in ssame machine
-
NG implementation lead to dead end way
at init time NG take a full snapshot of système which becomes virtual disk for NG machines, now when any backup/restore tool
need to take a snapshot ,because one full already exist, theses snapshots becomes différentials ones,at beginning they are very small
but with the tile they grows quickly and are greater then 1 Go.
and the problem is that when backup finished différential snapshot is not released ,they are only relased when full is released.
so disk space is quickly eaten (system volume information becomes gigantic)
the only ways to release this space are:
- go to progam panel discard NG , reboot,then restart check ng , reboot , ng rebuild start
- start systeme backup (snapshots and restore points are ignored in image), then restore image, after NG rebuild automaticaly
theses two solutions are ver annoying!
I suggest to devloppers the following steps
- take a full snapshot
- from it extract all needed data to build a virtual disk
- release snapshot
So this space problem is avoided
Best regards
