Regrow failed

Hi!

I need to add a few GB to a virtual disk. First of all vmware-vdiskmanager  expects a whole lot of libs in /usr/local/bin/libdir/lib but ok. Those libs are actually located in /usr/local/lib/vmware/lib so i fixed taht inital problem with:

mkdir /usr/local/bin/libdir  

ln -s /usr/local/lib/vmware/lib /usr/local/bin/libdir/lib

After that I was able to run

vmware-vdiskmanager -x 150GB "/path/to/virtual machine/virtual disk.vmdk"

However, vdiskmanager doesn't work for me. It fails with "DISKLIB-LIB   : Failed to grow disk '/path/to/virtual machine/virtual disk.vmdk' : Read beyond the end of file (2311)."

This is the full content of /tmp/vmware-root/vdiskmanager.log:

And these are the few human readable line of virtual disk.vmdk:

1. Disk DescriptorFile

version=1

encoding="UTF-8"

CID=e5993c45

parentCID=ffffffff

createType="monolithicSparse"

1. Extent description

RW 266338304 SPARSE "virtual disk.vmdk"

1. The Disk Data Base

#DDB

ddb.virtualHWVersion = "7"

ddb.uuid = "60 00 C2 97 7a 37 e7 77-84 32 80 28 34 b9 a2 86"

ddb.geometry.cylinders = "16578"

ddb.geometry.heads = "255"

ddb.geometry.sectors = "63"

ddb.adapterType = "lsilogic"

ddb.toolsVersion = "7396"

Can anybody help me with this? I seem to be the only one who experienced problems before the disk is resized.

Thanks in advance
