i have fusion 5. on os x. have a few vms. one of them is centos with a 100gig Virtual Disk-flat.vmdk. i need to reclaim 90% of it. the cent os system shows that "99 GB" are "Free". not partitioned. image attached.
the vmware-vdiskmanager doesn't do much. it exits with "Shrink completed successfully." but there is no shrinkage at all. the Virtual Disk-flat.vmdk ramains 102 gigs.
settings refuses to do a Clean Up. the second attachment shows that.
what happens if i just get rid of /dev/sda and the respective /dev/disk/by-path/ file?
how to get rid of the unused space?
thanks..
