[Xen-users] Recovering space or "shrink" disk img?

[James Pifer <jep@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We use a lot of sparse disk images. On one of them I setup a temporary
swapfile of 4 gig and enabled it. I did not add it to fstab, etc. On
reboot I wanted it to go away in this case. 

Anyway, upon rebooting and removing the 4gb file, I have not gained back
the space in the sparse file. For example, if I do:
du -s -B1 disk0
13056692224     disk0

That's the same thing I got before removing the 4 gb file. Should I
expect disk0 to "recover" the space automatically? VMware has a shrink
disk option, does something similar need to be done in xen?

Thanks,
James
