varnish 2.0.1 truncates pre-created cache file?

| bug or feature? With the new version, my cache file gets shrunk. I made 
| it with dd with a size of ~259 GB, but after starting varnishd, only 
| about 119 GB are left. I don't give a size parameter when starting, as 
| in
| 
|     -s file,/var/cache/varnish/store.bin
| 
| which worked as expected with older releases.

I would guess at you running into us using 50% of the available space on
the file system by default.  If we don't use the existing size, I'd
argue it's a bug, so please file one.
