are there any options when you import it into vmware? |
22:33
🔗
|
ivan |
well, it's possible you were downloading a 15GB posterous site |
22:38

|
ivan |
you can cat /dev/zero > bigfile; rm bigfile, and then use vmware's compaction button |
22:42
🔗
|
ersi |
PepsiMax: Because you've used up to 16 GB in the data disk |
22:43

ersi |
We can't automatically compact it for you, since it would need access to the host system (obviously) |
22:44

|
ivan |
there's probably a way to trigger compaction through vmware tools |

I think windows guests do this |

PepsiMax: We upload files and then remove them. |

If you'd reboot your Warrior, it'll clear out all downloaded files. |
