Sizing Issues
Posted: 22. Nov 2017, 02:05
Hi,
Im having a prob with the virtual size of my VDI. I initially made it small to fit on a SSD but then decided to move it to a TB HD
I did this ok and increased the size but must have got the numbers wrong on the command as the virtual size now read as 8.47 TB instead of the 900GB i was looking for. (Although inside the windows XP guest it read the HDD as 574GB which I increased the primary partition to fill)
So i used the compact command and now it reads the same Virtual Size of 8.47TB but only 26.6GB Actual Size.
Can anyone point me how to decrease the Virtual to around 600 or 700 GB?
Or am I worried over nothing as its fine as it is?
Thanks for any help
