Smart Update image size increasing over time

Is not the same problem which you answered benbean, 03-06-2006?

Smart Update image size increasing over time

That's the way sparse image work, benbean -- Apple doesn't seem to recover deleted space very well. You can recover it by typing the following in Terminal:

Code:
hdiutil compact

(there's a space after compact), then drag the image file from Finder into Terminal. Then, press Return. It'll shrink the sparse image as much as it can.

Hope that helps.
