One day some guests VM become "Invalid" State but some OK.
Possible storage error but nothing in logs.
Trying to recovery was unsuccessful. I can't read *.vmx and *-flat.vmdk files:
# cat vm-host2.vmx
cat: vm-host2.vmx: Invalid argument
# mkdir 123
# cp vm-host2-flat.vmdk 123
cp: cannot open `vm-host2-flat.vmdk' for reading: Invalid argument
# strace cat vm-host2.vmx

Is it possible to recovery VM's?
