Recover free drive space when using FileVault
Authored by: felix-fi on Mar 20, '07 05:36:10AM

Indeed hdiutil compact will do the same.

I use a sparseimage (on an SMB mounted volume) to make the backup of my home dir... and I am always surprised to see that deleted files space is not automatically recovered in sparseimage... one has to run hdiutil compact once in a while. Weird...
