I feel like you dodged a bullet there. If you were not able to shut it down, then get a NAS or some device and clone to it at least that will give you a slimmed down clean version. Regards,   Burt Mascareigne Mobile 0414 450 962   Office (02) 9965 5422 Address Level 19, 1 O’Connell Street,

Re: [AusNOG] VMWare Snapshot / Delta VMDK removal

As others have said, I wouldn’t go messing around with those VMware files. You have a very high chance of borking something. Instead, get to the source of the problem. Find out *why* your VMs have a sudden appetite for data. Unfortunately I can’t speak for Linux, but on the off chance the
