Ulli Hankeln over at the VM-sickbay has written a very helpful handbook which can guide you to a solution when you’re in real deep VMDK trouble. The VMDK Handbook is an awesome list with the most in-depth information regarding VMDK files. It’s definitely worth a look before you get into trouble. Do you want to get a good understanding of the structure of a virtual disk file and learn everything about how to identify the vmdk-type, sparse and flat - thin and thick, snapshots or redo logs, the parameters used in a vmdk description and CID-parameters? Then go to http://vm-sickbay.com/Ulli is going to attend the VMworld 2010 in Copenhagen and can be found on Twitter @sanbarrow
