Hi,
I have created a linux VM on HyperV which have a dynamically expanding VHDX with max size 127 GB. Post OS installation, the size of this disk become around 8 GB. While, if I create the similar VM on VMware vSphere thin provisioned disk with max size 127 GB, the disk size post OS installation is only around 2GB. I have tried to compact/optimize the VHDX but there is no significant reduction. Is it possible to optimize this disk to make it at par with VMware VM hard disk size? I need to package the VM into DVD and distribute it to my clients.
