How do I minimize the image size created with migrating physical machines to virtual with Virt-P2V?
Issue
When I migrate my physical machine to virtual using Virt-P2V I end up with a huge file, but the file size used is larger than the amount of disk space in use on the system. What can I do to minimize the amount of space used?
