Cloning / Copying virtual disk error on Linux

$

0

Hello,

 

Im running CentOS 4.2, and all is going smooth except when I go to utilize one of my virtual disks as an image.

 

1.  I setup the guest vm just the way I want it, updates and all.

2.  Then copy to a new directory

 

cp sys2.vmdk sys2-flat.vmdk ../sys3

 

3.  The copy completes and I attempt to add the disk by "use an existing virtual disk", them browse to the disk I just created and get the following error:

 

Failed to retrieve disk information for "/var/lib/vmware/Virtual Machines/snort/snort.vmdk"

 

Any ideas?
