Recover config vmdk file

You can copy a xxxx.vmdk file from another vmdk.

Then edit it, and make sure it points at the correct xxxx-flat.vmdk.
You should also make sure the “# Extent description” is correct.

If you run “stat xxxx-flat.vmdk” it will tell you how many cylanders

example
# stat xxxx-flat.vmdk
File: `xxxx-flat.vmdk’
Size: 8589934592 Blocks: 19777219 IO Block: 131072 Regular File

so in xxxx.vmdk make,
# Extent description
RW 19777219 VMFS “xxxx-flat.vmdk”
