(In reply to Kirk McKusick from comment #7)

Thanks, then I guess Glen could reduce the size a little with a new commit.=

But still, I am wondering why we keep VM image sizes this big. Not everybody
needs to download the FreeBSD sources and recompile the system.=20

I believe we could stick to a reasonable size (maybe even 10GB) and then
anybody who feels that it is too small can use growfs, whether it is on the
cloud on a virtual disk (like me) or a local disk prior to installing with
something like:

# truncate -s 100G <new_vm_img>
# dd if=3D<old_vm_img> of=3D<new_vm_img> conv=3Dnotrunc

What do you think?
