Something is wrong, it still isn't working. dm-0 mount /dev/mapper/loop0p1 /mnt/vmdk -t ext4 mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/mapper/loop0p1, missing codepage or helper program, or other error

Here is what I'm kpartx -av debiantest-esx4-noswap/debiantest-esx4-noswap-disk1.vmdk add map loop0p1 (253:0): 0 729527 linear 7:0 3 ls -l /dev/mapper/ total 0 crw- 1 root root 10, 236 Feb 8 17:17 control lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Feb 8 17:17 loop0p1 ->. I haven't tried those links yet, because vddk won't install (gets tar errors, can't continue, tried in 3 diff linux boxes, all of them can't work with any of them due to quitting due to errors with symbolic links) but I did build a new debian OS as a test, this time with no swap. vmdk has 2x files in it, 0.img and 1.img, 0=linux fx, 1=swapĪny ideas on what I can do to mount this? I've also tried losetup and no good result.

I ran an fdisk print on the /dev/mapper/loop0p1 and it shows this:ĭisk /dev/mapper/loop0p1: 781.4 MiB, 819368448 bytes, 1600329 sectors Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disklabel type: dos Disk identifier: 0圆0cb7d2b Tried with -t ext4 (debian, so it's ext4) and still no go.

Ran this: mount /dev/mapper/loop0p1 /home/Desktop/VMDK mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/mapper/loop0p1, Kpartx -av /home/SCRATCH/backup/DEBIAN960-TEST1/DEBIAN960-TEST1-disk1.vmdk add map loop0p1 (254:0): 0 1600329 linear 7:0 3Īll looks good so far. Using ovftool.exe to export a VM from ESXi 6.7 (New install, Debian 9.6.0): ovftool e:\scratch\īooted up another linux box and ran this: I'll try and list things out step-by-step so maybe you can point out where I'm failing? I'm running into issues mounting a VMDK and I can't quite figure out what the problem is.
