hi

i notice two issues since a longer time on
VMware Workstation (host and guest fedora 16)

* vmware-toolbox-cmd disk shrink /home
  it prepares only the given mountpoint (zerofill) but it alaways
  acts on ALL virtual disks like "vmware-vdiskmanager -k disk.vmdk"
  would do what is useless on non-prepared disks and a problem if
  one of them is really large and you did not like shrink this one

* [root@testserver:/data]$ vmware-toolbox-cmd disk shrink /
  Die Partition / kann nicht verkleinert werden

  means in english something like "this partition can not be shriked"
  i can remember times where it was no problem to shrink the root-fs

  may it be that this issue has somehting to do with the braindead
  mount-output on recent kernels in case of bin-mounts and that
  the rootfs appears two times?

  rootfs                                         rootfs     12G    4,9G  6,9G   
42% /
  /dev/sdg1                                      ext4       12G    4,9G  6,9G
