Partition shrinking should definitely work with the open-vm-tools just as well as with the regular VMware Tools. That said, our support for FreeBSD 7 guests is very new, and it's possible that shrinking is broken (maybe the default filesystem used in FreeBSD 7 is different than in FreeBSD 6 and it's one we don't recognize). If you're familiar with C and UNIX programming, you could attach gdb to the toolbox and see what's going on. Otherwise, please file a bug so we can track the problem. |
