I am using windows 2003 server as host and as guest. I have virtual growable disks splitted in 2 GB slices.
One vmdk-file has 25 GB of size. I have deleted files some files in the guest system. So I have released 5 GB of space.
Over the weekend there was running a scpript on the host to reorganize the vmdk-files.
First I have used the following command to defrag the virtual disk:
vmware-vmdiskmanager - d disk1.vmdk
After that I want to shrink the virtual disk using this command:
vmware-vmdiskmanager -k disk1.vmdk
But unfortunatly the size is not reduced. What is wrong ?
Shoult I first shrink an then defrag ?
Are there any other options which I should activate ?
Thanks in advance
