On updated an ugraded Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy with a just checked ext3 filesystem

The vmdk vmware image is a 9 GB image file:

My hard disk is a ext3 /dev/sda2 72Gb total size
When i run this command:

This file have size of 78.652.716.032 > hard_disk /dev/sda2 total size > hard_disk /dev/sda2 free available space

vboxmanage convertdd xpanna.img xpanna.vdi

Additional check, if i force a filesystem check with
sudo touch /forcefsck
Ubuntu check the ext3 filesystem and don't show any error.
Hope this helps, thank you.
