Does Knoppix, or any 3rd party software, have the ability to read VMDK files?
Here's an example... we have a server that won't boot, but it has a single file on it we want (config file). The file is within a 2+ gig VMDK file. We like to boot off Knoppix, 'mount' the vmdk file, and copy the small file inside of it to somewhere safe. Once that file is safe, then we'd just blow away the entire machine.
The goal is to read the contents of a vmdk file w/o a full install of vmware being available and at preferribly w/o the host OS needing to boot (hence why knoppix came up).
Is this possible?
