Hi,
I'm doing some tries on a test VM as i appeared to have over 30 (!) snapshots... (which wher to be seen ine the snapshot manager).
I removed the snaphots (via the "vmware-cmd VmTest1 removesnapshots" command) and did some changes in the VmTest1.vmx and VmTest1.vmdk files.
The .vmx refers to the .vmxf and .vmdk.
The .vmdk looks like that:
# Disk DescriptorFile
version=3
encoding="UTF-8"
CID=ea703b90
parentCID=ffffffff
isNativeSnapshot="no"
createType="vmfs"
# Extent description
RW 16777216 VMFS "VmTest1-flat.vmdk"
# Change Tracking File
changeTrackPath="VmTest1-ctk.vmdk"
# The Disk Data Base
#DDB
ddb.adapterType = "lsilogic"
ddb.geometry.sectors = "63"
ddb.geometry.heads = "255"
ddb.geometry.cylinders = "1044"
ddb.uuid = "60 00 C2 92 ce 33 8c ad-ad db 45 d1 3b cf 07 c6"
ddb.longContentID = "014b6538dea494f606e7804aea703b90"
ddb.virtualHWVersion = "7"
So, no ref to any previous -delta.vmdk, but when i start the VM, the .log gives::
