    I have a problem with Parallels Compressor (i run Parallels Desktop 5 under MacOS 1.6.3) and recent Linux OS.
    With old distros like Fedora 8-9 and Ubuntu 8.04 everithing is fine, but with Fedora 11 or Ubuntu 9.04 with ext4 filesystem (wich are in the list of supported guests) Parallels Compressor doesn't work at all.
    If i try to shrink their virtual disk images, compression performs very fast, but the size never decreases!

    What's the problem here? Is there any known issue with these distros or with ext4 filesystem?
