Hi guys, wondering if you can shed some light on how these 000001/2.vmdk files work. Running Vmware workstation and I have a guest OS with one virtual hard drive. From inside the OS (Server 2k3) it is only showing 25.3GB's used, however I have 3 different vmdk files. The snapshot manager isn't showing anything so I don't understand why they exist. I have:
- server01.vmdk - 23.0 GB - Not quite enough to be the entirety of used space
- server01-000001.vmdk - 31.6 GB - Too big
- server01-000002.vmdk - 3.32 GB - Tiny?
In addition to this, going into the VM settings shows server01-000002.vmdk as being set as the hard drive, but when starting the VM I get .lck folders for all 3 files.
Is it possible to find out what I do and don't need? Or merge these into the one file? I've tried defragmenting and compacting, but have had no change. I'm running Vmware workstation 9.0.1
