Yes, icg4aida.vmdk and temp.vmdk are pointing to the same flat disk since they have the same content. As i wrote in my other post, i recreated the temp.vmdk file. We got the input/output error with the icg4aida.vmdk file and wanted to be sure that the icg4aida.vmdk isn't corrupted. From the VM settings i only choose the temp.vmdk when i create the second disk. Do we have to delete the icg4aida.vmdk from the volume even when it's not used in the config file of the VM?
Your command gives "icg4aida.vmx: Device or resource busy". Do we have to shutdown the VM?
