Vboxmanage/compact: Unterschied zwischen den Versionen

Version vom 6. Januar 2023, 10:57 Uhr

You have to do the following steps:

Run defrag in the guest (Windows only)
Nullify free space: With a Linux Guest run this: dd if=/dev/zero of=/var/tmp/bigemptyfile bs=4096k ; rm /var/tmp/bigemptyfile Or: telinit 1 mount -o remount,ro /dev/sda1 zerofree -v /dev/sda1 With a Windows Guest, download SDelete from Sysinternals and run this: sdelete.exe c: -z (replace C: with the drive letter of the VDI)# Shutdown the guest VM

Now run VBoxManage's modifymedium command with the --compact option: With a Linux Host run this: vboxmanage modifymedium --compact /path/to/thedisk.vdi With a Windows Host run this: VBoxManage.exe modifymedium --compact c:\path\to\thedisk.vdi With a Mac Host run this: VBoxManage modifymedium --compact /path/to/thedisk.vdi VBoxManage is located here: /Applications/VirtualBox.app/Contents/MacOS/VBoxManage

This reduces the vdi size.

# vboxmanage modifymedium --compact windows10.vdi
