Now this is what I did to get VMDKMounter to mount the disk that had the data and also booted from Live OS ISO Image mounting R/O and retrieving the data. However Parallels Mounter did mount it and I was able to retrieve the files although I do not recommend this because it reset the date/time stamp on all files to the date/time it was mounted and really was just wanting to see if Parallels Mounter would not care that the parent and child disks were of different size. Went to the clone and fixed the parentCID however it would not boot or mount with VMDKMounter as expected because the virtual hard disk of the clone was a different size then the parent. Went back to the Parent, deleted the Snapshot and resized the virtual hard disk.
I also use one that initially mounts the disk R/O so as not to alter it already compromised structure in the use case scenario like you have.īooted the clone and DnD a bunch of images and documents to it and then shut it down. The other alternatives I've already mentioned and that's to boot the Virtual Machine from a appropriate Live OS ISO Image. I have found Parallels Mounter to at times work when VMDKMounter fails. vmdk file succeeds when selecting the Virtual Machine Package fails under VMware Fusion 5 and 6, of course assuming proper conditions exist. I find that selecting the appropriate target. vmdk virtual hard disk and select Open With > VMDKMounter To use VMDKMounter you ctrl-click (right-click) the target Virtual Machine Package or.

Prior to installing it I had also installed Fuse for OS X (with the "MacFUSE Compatibility Layer" checked) and Tuxera NTFS for Mac.

I still use it with VMware Fusion 6.0.2 from a VMware Fusion 3.1.2 installer using Pacifist to install it to its default location. Obviously VMDKMounter is no longer supported beyond the last version of VMware Fusion it was included in however it still manages to work if the disk is not damaged or limited by it programming directives. I would appreciate your help as I have lost 3 months of work, or if there is any way to access the files in the linked clone so I can save them and dump the old VMs.
If there is any way to recover or recreate the snapshots and have the linked clone link back into the parent please provide the procedure. the VM started but hung early on with at the black screen I created another linked clone (from the same parent) after performing the cleanup could not startup the linked cloneĪpparently the cleanup deleted the snapshot used initially while creating the linked clone. then attempting the resize again, was prompted to perform a cleanup the delete confirmed that the linked clone will not be affected tried to resize the parent but got a message that the snapshots need to be deleted Is there any way to recreate the snapshot and have the linked clone recognize and be able to access the files in the linked clone? I have lost the parent snapshot for a linked clone while performing a resize of the parent.
