VBoxManage --compact crashes on Mac OS X => --compact broken in 2.2.2

[Egor Egorov]

What I did:

VBoxManage  modifyhd Ubuntu8.10.vdi  --compact

Ubuntu8.10.vdi is a fresh install, file is about 5 gigs size, expandable image, 20 gigs.

OS = Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.6 with all updates.

What I saw:

trust:HardDisks egor$ VBoxManage  modifyhd Ubuntu8.10.vdi  --compact
VirtualBox Command Line Management Interface Version 2.2.2
(C) 2005-2009 Sun Microsystems, Inc.

0%...
trust:HardDisks egor$ 

And then Mac OS X crash reporter immediately pops up. Log file attached. 100% repeatable.

Hi,
I have the same problem using VBox 2.2.2 on Windows XP SP3 host and Ubuntu 9.04 guest.
I executed command:
"C:\Program Files\Sun\xVM VirtualBox\VBoxManage" modifyhd "C:\Documents and Settings\[user]\.VirtualBox\HardDisks\Ubuntu_9_04_Desktop.vdi" --compact and VBox crashed.

I have added 9432_appcompat.txt file which is a Windows dump file.

Hi,
don't know if this is important, but I am using ext4 file system in Ubuntu 9.04. Regards

See the last comment in #2833 -- unfortunately --compact is broken in 2.2.2 due to a typo. Please don't use this command with this version.

Thanks for the information. Any chance for a fixed VBoxManage binary for Mac/Linux/Windows attached to this ticket for those struggling? Pleeease. :)
