growing virtual disks

Lots of people, in order to increase virtual disk size, underestimate
the power of dd and start creating other images, copying data
or concatenating raw files.

Suppose you have a 4G image and you want to increase its size to 8G,
IMHO the simplest way is:

dd if=/dev/zero of=myoriginalsmallimage bs=1 count=1 seek=8G

That's all.

spot

Oggi ho sentito per caso una pubblicita` in cui ad un certo punto si diceva piu` o meno cosi`:

"... il veicolo con il piu` basso valore di emissione di CO2 per passeggero..."

Vale a dire?

new vde page

Finally I'm linking new vde web page: vde.sourceforge.net.
It's not so amazing, but I hope it's better than previous one.
