Hey there!
I've a VirtualMachine where I've Debian 4 installed with Reiser4 with
compression enabled. The FileSystem is taking roughtly 100Mb (not
counting Swap). But the vdi file is about 300Mb.
I guess this happens because, at some time, the filesystem got that
big. Any way...

I've used vboxmanage modifyvdi <vdifile> compact, to try reducing the
file size to about 100Mb (the size of my partition). But it doesn't
happen! :(

I've found that the sectors must be zeroed before i can compact
anything (http://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/28), but then... how do i
zero the sectors on my reiser4 partition?! Or for that matter for any
partition?!

The only way i've found is doing a format what, of course, is not a
real option!

Suggestions are welcome :)

Cheers,
KM
