hi all,
http://www.vmware.com/support/ws55/doc/ws_disk_defrag.html
this document suggests that defrag be performed in three steps.
I can understand step 1 (defrag utility inside the virtual machine) and 3 (defrag utility on the host machine), and I also understand why one must follow the other.
what puzzles me is step 2 (defragment virtual disks from the virtual machine settings editor): what is this all about?
step 1 reorganizes files and folders in the guest OS, while step 3 does the same at the host level (and hence at the virtual disk image file level)... isn't this enough?
respectfully
