>
> VMware.pm's capture subroutine currently aborts if _vmprofile.vmdisk_ is set
> to _dedicated_ and the repository path is not configured. This was done to
> prevent _reclaim\_vmhost\_disk\_space_ from deleting image directories that
> may be shared with other hosts. This is a common base image creation problem
> since it hasn't been well-documented. The vcld.log error is:
> {noformat}
> VMware.pm:capture|660| ---- CRITICAL ----
> VMware.pm:capture|660| 2017-05-24 08:22:23VMware.pm:capture|660|disk type is
> set to 'dedicated' but the repository path is NOT configured for VM profile
> 'VMware ESXi - local storage', this configuration is not allowed because it
> may result in vmdk directories being deleted without a backup copy saved in
> the image repository
> VMware.pm:capture|660| ( 0) VMware.pm, capture (line: 660)
> VMware.pm:capture|660| (-1) image.pm, process (line: 179)
> VMware.pm:capture|660| (-2) vcld, make_new_child (line: 587)
> VMware.pm:capture|660| (-3) vcld, main (line: 348)
> {noformat}
> It would be better to add logic to _reclaim\_vmhost\_disk\_space_ to prevent
> possible deletion and allow captures to proceed.
