Hi all,
When I built my VM guest (Ubuntu Server 12.04) on VMware ESXi 5.1 I was a little over zealous and create it with a 500GB hard drive. I have found now that a 100GB would easily suffice.
I would like to reduce the hard drive down to 100GB. How can I do this? It seems pretty obvious how to do it on Windows using the Standalone converter but under Ubuntu server? I've no idea where to begin and I can't find any info!
Could someone also please explain why the real used disk space of this guest on the host is 500GB? When using VMWorkstation the file size just grows with the actual used disk space of the guest. Whereas under ESXi the file size begins at the size you have specified for the server. Can this be changed?
Many thanks in advance.
VMware ESXi 5.1
Guest: Ubuntu Server 12.04
