Did I miss something? I used to down a VM and then mount its virtual disk in order to do a direct backup instead of a .vmdk backup. That doesn't seem to be possible with VMware Server 2? I even found and installed the Virtual Disk Development Kit, which got me vmware-mount back, but I get the following error:
Unable to mount the virtual disk. The disk may be in use by a virtual
machine, may not have enough volumes or mounted under another drive
letter. If not, verify that the file is a valid virtual disk file.
It definitely is not running (vmrun list shows 0 vm's running). Interestingly, vmware-mount /p does show that the virtual disk has 1 volume. Is this because VMware Server 2 upgrades the virtual hardware? Do we have to change the command line similar to how vmware run was changed compared to the old vmware-cmd (using the storage notation instead of local drive/path)?
