Yes, I created a 16GB drive to reproduce the problem. The basic debian install without graphical environment uses only 1.5GB.

I don't recall Debian being discussed here at all (since 2009) before these recent posts, so if it's coincidence then it's a big one!
The problem is the same, all the messages are related to distros based on debian.
I'm using VirtualBox 5.1.22 and the problem happens only with debian 9, a new machine created with debian 8.8 is compacted without any problem.
I think that something on the way that debian 9 creates the partitions is making CloneVDI thinks that only 339MB of the disk is in use and not 1.4GB of actual data.
