ASIF disk images are new in Tahoe, and promise to be space efficient, as they’re sparse files, and almost as fast as the disk they’re stored on. Ideal for VMs and general use.

    Interesting writeup; it sounds from the description like ASIF always contains a single APFS partition?

    I work a lot with VMs, disk images and emulators, but this seems like it’s only designed to work with Apple’s VM API, and only if the guest is macOS 13 or later. Will it even work with Linux?
