    Dear support,

    I'm quite happy with this outstanding product so far. It is really great, and I would
    like to help to improve it further.

    Of course there are little problems in this early state. One of them seems to be a rare
    case that I have hit using two virtual disk images.

    I have two virtual drives C: and D:
    Each of them is a single partition.
    This just happend after trying lots of configurations. Drive D: should have been
    simply a network share, but this was not possible due to a bug in the subversion
    windows core which makes it impossible to check out to a network drive.

    So my C: and D: partitions reside on different mounted virtual dynamic drives.

    After moving many files to the native OSX fs, I tried to save space and compress the
    drives. The C: drive shrunk nicely, while the D: drive stayed unchanged.
    What I used was the automatic compression feature.
    I tried several things, also using disk defragmentation from PerfectDisk(TM), but
    this did not change.

    So I tried to compress the D: drive manually and it just worked great.
    I guess there is a missing case if more than one virtual drive is attached.

    Cheers - Christian Tismer
