       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.
