[PVE-User] Shrink qemu raw image...

[Gilberto Nunes]

Hi.. Thanks for quickly response...

And of course, I always down the vm... Indeed, I also work on a copy of raw
image...
Because the VM is already in production... But the use of this vm is very
rare...
So doesn't matter if one or two register was lost during the procedure,
because we can insert the lost register again...

Thanks anyway
