Still no luck. I've installed VMware Workstation and copied the all the saved files over. I followed your advice and put the CIDs right. they are now:
ACCOUNTS.vmdk:
# Disk DescriptorFile
version=3
encoding="UTF-8"
CID=87d1ca79
parentCID=ffffffff
isNativeSnapshot="no"
createType="vmfs"
# Extent description
RW 419430400 VMFS "Accounts-flat.vmdk"
# Change Tracking File
changeTrackPath="Accounts-ctk.vmdk"
# The Disk Data Base
#DDB
ddb.adapterType = "lsilogic"
ddb.thinProvisioned = "1"
ddb.geometry.sectors = "63"
ddb.geometry.heads = "255"
ddb.geometry.cylinders = "26108"
ddb.uuid = "60 00 C2 9f 1b 81 43 38-d9 77 f1 a2 88 04 9e a3"
ddb.longContentID = "bdca5d487c30bb6389577488c7939858"
ddb.virtualHWVersion = "8"
ACCOUNTS-000002.vmdk:
# Disk DescriptorFile
version=3
encoding="UTF-8"
CID=25a5467e
parentCID=87d1ca79
isNativeSnapshot="no"
createType="vmfsSparse"
parentFileNameHint="Accounts.vmdk"
# Extent description
RW 419430400 VMFSSPARSE "Accounts-000002-delta.vmdk"
# Change Tracking File
changeTrackPath="Accounts-000002-ctk.vmdk"
# The Disk Data Base
#DDB
ddb.toolsVersion = "0"
ddb.longContentID = "1a32d8dfc26587c217ebd08125a5467e"
When I try to map the disk in VMware Workstation I'm receiving "Error reading volume information" from Accounts-000015.vmdk to 000002.vmdk. Only Accounts.vmdk is opening without problems (no recent data inside).
On the server front I'm still receiving the following error.
Reason: The parent virtual disk has been modified since the child was created. The content ID of the parent virtual disk does not match the corresponding parent content ID in the child.
Is there still something wrong in my Parent/Child chains? I can't see what!
Tried to verify CID as described here VMware KB: Resolving the CID mismatch error: The parent virtual disk has been modified since the child was created … but no luck either.
What else could I do?
