Right. It grows automagically but you have to manually shrink. I guess the assumption is that most of the time disk usage increases.

Just curious, if you shrink, will it grow again as necessary?

My 40GB drive in Fusion is about 6GB. You can shrink back down by using the VMWare Tools shrink disk feature under Windows. Probably helps to do a disk cleanup and defragment before doing the shrink.

I haven't noticed that. But, the disk image that fusion uses is dynamic, so it will only be as large on your disk as the largest size that Windows needs.

Note, the disk can dynamically size up, but not down, so if you copy a 20gb file onto the Windows drive then erase it the virtual disk will not shrink.
