Using the workstation, it creates a new log for each session. Usually after some time I delete them all, because they tend to grow in number and size. Let me know if there is a way for turn off this continuous creation of logs.
logging = "false"
disables logging - but it is highly recommended not to disable logging as the vmware.logs might have the data to reconstruct damaged vmx-files or damaged vmdk-descriptorfiles in case your VM gets damaged.
Ok thank you. But where that string is inserted into the vmx file? Top, center or bottom? If enough then can I leave the most recent log? However, I periodically backup the entire VM on external HD.
Another question, in the event of damage to the VM, what's the procedure to fix it?
to reduce the number of logs use
log.keepOld = "2"
vmx-files do not care for the sequence of parameters - just add lines where ever you like but make sure not to define a parameter twice

oh dear - there are lots of different types of damages that can appear - there is no easy one-size-fits-all answer to that question.
Thanks again ![]()
