| #709 | fixed | I can't compact linux guest VDIs efficiently | ||
| Description |
I'm wondering if I'm the only one having this problem (?). Using the VBoxManage modifyvdi name.vdi compact command, and after zeroing the disk, I am able to always recover space on FAT32 partitions (Windows guests) but I could never succeed doing that with Linux guests, either on ext2 or ext3 partitions. I have being also zeroing them with dd if=/dev/zero or with the zerofree method described in the forums but nothing seems to work. On FAT32 I have a vdi which is maybe 10% bigger of what Windows tells as size. On ext2 it can be as bad as a partition containing 250 MB (that's what du and df say) gives me a 2GB VDI!! (after compacting). It's a / partition of a Debian/Etch minimum install and I zeroed it using a rescue iso disk. I really can't see what I'm doing wrong! Thanks for your help. |

| #710 | fixed | make the dialog of closing vm more friendly | ||
| Description |
It is a convenient way to close the vm by pressing the window button at the top right. But there is only two options at the dialog of closing vm. Save the machine state Power off the machine There should be an option of "ACPI Shutdown". Because it's been used more frequently than the other two action for daily work. |

| #711 | duplicate | Small but useful improvements :) | ||
| Description |
I think we can make application little more useful if free one of 2 lines: top or bottom toolbar - i.e. move menu to bottom of window or control buttons from right bottom corner to top toolbar. Or more useful feature - make both toolbars customizable. |
