Hello André,
yes it is really courious and I cannot explain how is possibile. But the "main" .vmdk file (MacbethOs) without extension in his descriptor references n-different vmdk files all without extensions :|
[..]
RW 4192256 SPARSE "MacbethOs-s001"
RW 4192256 SPARSE "MacbethOs-s002"
[..]
In addition VMware Workstation is not generating a vmware.log in this situation (I had old .log before, now no more).
Thank you!
Eddie
