Hello everyone! I faced an issue using ntfsresize --info to estimate minimum fs size before resize. The environment is as following: we are a hypervisor running a windows VM. We want a maximum VM uptime, while optimizing host disk space usage.
So we want to find out how much space we can free from VM disk image, and if there's a considerable amount of space for freeing, we stop VM and shrink its disk image. The problem is that VM may do some FS operations, so that $MFT and $Bitmap cluster usage mismatch. In that case, ntfsresize --info (even with -ff) reports errors and refuses to display minimum fs size. I guess whether it is possible to add a switch to ntfsresize enabling it to display (approximate) minimum size even if cluster mismatch is found (e.g. according to $MFT data). Thanks in advance! -- Your sincerely, Maxim Perevedentsev ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Site24x7 APM Insight: Get Deep Visibility into Application Performance APM + Mobile APM + RUM: Monitor 3 App instances at just $35/Month Monitor end-to-end web transactions and take corrective actions now Troubleshoot faster and improve end-user experience.
