February 9, 20179 yr I converted a vmdk disk to Qcow2 format. The vmdk disk is 21.7Gb in size. The Qcow2 disk is 96.64Gb! The Windows VM reports the disk as being 20Gb. What's the extra 70Gb being used for?
February 9, 20179 yr Open up disk manager in Windows and see if an option show up to extend the partition for the disk.
February 9, 20179 yr Author Never thought of that. Sure enough there's 60Gb sitting there unallocated. Is there any way to shrink the Qcow disk to 30Gb? I don't know where that extra 60Gb came from.

You must have originally create the vdisk larger or when converting it made it larger. Shrinking a vdisk is a royal pain. Google for Linux command line instructions for it and you'll see what I mean.
