I have a VM file server and I would like to Compact the VHDX. On my host is shows it is 5.3TBs, but it is smaller than than within the VM due to "White Space".
I have compacted disks in the past without issue.
When I shut down the VM and select the disk to Compact it appears to start and then dissappears with no errors within 1 second of starting it.
I know it would take a while to compact a VHD of this size. So I get no error, but the disk does not perform the compact.
