.vctl Fusion Container Storage.sparseimage file - large and not understood

[rmac71]

I have a 16.5 GB file on my drive in the ~/.vctl directory.  Clearly it is related to the vctl command line tool.

I am wondering if this is the minimal size or how it might grow or shrink,

If we add and remove images is it going to change?

Thanks in advance.

I presume you've pulled or built some container images, yes?

The default size for the special system volume we create is around 5GB IIRC, and can grow to around 135GB.

If you run 'vctl images', are you seeing numbers that add up to around 10-11GB?

You could try vctl system start --compact or vctl system stop --compact to shrink the size.

OPTIONS:

  -c, --compact               Compact container storage upon start/stop
