Is there any way through the Starwind interface or outside utility to shrink an existing IBV to get rid of wasted space and make the size of the volume as small as possible?

Thanks.

For now the only way to proceed is to create new volume and copy all the files to it from the old one. We're working on the shrining utility but it's far far away from being completed (requires NTFS parsing and it's not easy). Sorry for this!
