Compact Option?
Posted: Tue Nov 01, 2011 6:24 am
In a previous thread on here, several people suggested using Compact on the partitions to make the physical size of image smaller (by lowering the last byte on the drive to a location closer to the front).
Anyhow, I've searched IFD, IFL, and IFW, and have not seen an option to Compact the partition. Am I missing something? I even followed the instructions on the FAQ that references using Compact on Image for Linux, and have been thru all the options (including trying to do a backup), and the only thing remotely similar to Compact would be Compression, but if I'm not mistaken, that's to compress the Image, not the partition prior to making the image.
Thanks for any insight anyone can provide.
