Hi Fam, In commit bb45ded93115ad4303471c9a492579dc36716547 you moved the rgd_offset field after gd_offset. The VMDK spec has the rgd_offset field before gd_offset. Could you please review B.B. Gordon's patch which reverts this change and implements the header/footer precedence described in the "Header and Footer" section for Stream-Optimized Compressed Sparse Extents? If you still have the .vmdk files you tested against it would be interesting to verify that applying this new patch doesn't break them. http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/132758/ Thanks, Stefan
