Vmdk Corrupted �2024-2026】

vmkfstools -x repair /vmfs/volumes/datastore01/server01/server01.vmdk Output: "Failed to repair disk. Disk chain is inconsistent."

# Check for zeroed CID (Corruption flag) CID=$(grep "CID=" $vmdk | cut -d'=' -f2) if [ "$CID" == "fffffffe" ]; then echo "ALERT: $vmdk has invalid CID. Possible corruption." >> $LOG_FILE /usr/bin/vmkfstools -x check $vmdk >> $LOG_FILE fi

The CID (Content ID) was reset to fffffffe — a flag meaning "unknown or corrupted parent." The flat extent is intact, but the mapping is blind.
