22:16 🔗 PepsiMax Why is archiveteam-warrior-v2-20121008-disk2.vmdk ~16 GB?
22:16 🔗 PepsiMax I don't like this.
22:17 🔗 PepsiMax (laptop with small SSD)
22:32 🔗 ivan 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
22:44 🔗 ivan I think windows guests do this
22:46 🔗 PepsiMax ivan: where bigfile is a file in the warrior vm?
22:46 🔗 ersi PepsiMax: We upload files and then remove them.
