[Engine-devel] storage overallocation ratio

Hi Michal,

apparentsize is the size that you perceive when working with the volume (i.e., ignoring sparseness etc.) while trusize is the size taken on the drive (i.e., taking sparseness etc. into account).

DiskImage.getActualSize() should report the truesize.
The end result is OK, since truesize overrides apparentsize in that command, but it's obviously wrong, and should be fixed [1].
