Ok, I feel like I'm beating a dead horse here. Sorry for my lack of understanding . . .
This sparse file was originally create with Apple Disk Utility at a size of 200 gig or so. Based on your last response, this should be the "maximum" size and shouldn't exceed it. Yet is has, big time. Also, I think that SD is copying files that it needs first. The OS sees that it needs to expand the sparse image to accomadate the files. Then SD removes files that are no longer on the original drive. But, meanwhile the spareimage has been increased and is not reduced. I guess that is why I'm getting ever increasing image file sizes. But, again, these were created in Apple Disk Utility and would have had a size of 200 gig. |
