I was cleaning up my snapshots within the Fusions snapshot menu item and when it was doing the clean up it failed and got a message there was not enough disk space. Subsequently I am getting: The parent of this virtual disk could not be opened
Cannot open the disk '/Users/johndicarlo/Virtual Machines.localized/Windows 11 64-bit Arm.vmwarevm/Virtual Disk-000002.vmdk' or one of the snapshot disks it depends on. Module 'Disk' power on failed. Failed to start the virtual machine.
I found the same message posted as a question on this subject and ran the command to get a file list. Here is the commend I ran:
ls -al /Users/johndicarlo/Virtual\ Machines.localized/Windows\ 11\ 64-bit\ Arm.vmwarevm > /Users/johndicarlo/Desktop/filelist.txt
I compared the listing to the file contents of the vm and they are the same so I not sure what I am looking for.....
Attached the is the vmware.log file that says I need to repair a few vmdk files. I also attached the metadata information I collected about the virtual disk in the event the virtual disk is corrupted. Should I run vmware-vdiskmanager -R to repair them?
Any advise what the next steps are to recover?
Running Sequoia 15.5 and Fusion Pro 13.6.4. I do not have a backup of my vm other than from TimeMachine backsups of my mac.....(Yes I now know that’s a no no to back up vm's)).
Please advise and thanks in advance. - John
