NAME

       disk_allocator - tool for creating and deleting loop device allocations of a given size.

SYNOPSIS

       disk_allocator [options] <create|delete> <target directory> <size> <filesystem>

DESCRIPTION

       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.
