disk_allocator - tool for creating and deleting loop device allocations of a given size.
disk_allocator [options] <create|delete> <target directory> <size> <filesystem>
disk_allcator is a tool for creating and deleting loop device allocations of a given size in order to sandbox an application. For creating an allocation, it accepts a desired location for the device, the size for the sandbox, and the filesystem to mount. For deleting an allocation, disk_allocator needs only the directory of the mounted loop device which is to be removed.
You will need superuser priveleges to run disk_allocator on your local machine.
On success, returns zero. On failure, returns non-zero.
Create a disk allocation:
disk_allocator create /tmp/test 100MB ext2
Delete a disk allocation:
disk_allocator delete /tmp/test
