In short text file temp.vmdk change "ddb.adapterType" to value "ide" ddb.adapterType = "ide" 3) Convert disc back (in my case to single file, not preallocated). vmware-vdiskmanager -r temp.vmdk -t 0 ide.vmdk 4) Add new existing disc to VM (connected as IDE). -- Ondrej Cecak Hi,

maybe quite more comfortable way, how to change SCSI disc to IDE (editing of full vmdk wasn’t working well):

1) Convert disc to flat.
vmware-vdiskmanager -r scsi.vmdk -t 2 temp.vmdk

2) Change disc type to IDE.
In short text file temp.vmdk change “ddb.adapterType” to value “ide”
ddb.adapterType = “ide”

3) Convert disc back (in my case to single file, not preallocated).
vmware-vdiskmanager -r temp.vmdk -t 0 ide.vmdk

4) Add new existing disc to VM (connected as IDE).

I have one Sony Alpha 350, and i i'm looking to buy a zoom lens. What is your opinion about the Sigma 70-300 APO, working on the Alpha 350? Did you had any problems with it?

I switched to scsi prealloc disk because thats the fastest disk access method whatsoever with vmware. I started getting this error when I had to run more guests from the same disk pbly due to the large sequential io the oses rot in with waiting. When I had the most io sensitive os on a separated disk I had no problem at all just that crashed for now. Also on the guest you can experience processes actually die out because they cant write out their logs etc. Oh and this is the latest kernel+ latest vmware server so the problem u discussing here is still exist.
