Hi, everyone. First post in this forum 
So my homebuildt VMWare server has after five year of service died.
I'm still debugging what the HW fault is, but I'm using the oppertunity to fix som old not so smart setup issues.
On my setup I had two 2TB disks that were set up as datastores.
My server did not have HW RAID, and VMWare does not support Fake RAID, som my linux guests where set up with Software RAID on the two datastores.
So so far I have mounted Datastore 1 to kubuntu with "sudo vmfs-fuse /dev/sdx1 /mnt/vmfs"
I can access the datastore, but have no idea on how to mount the .vdmk, witch is a ubuntu software RAID disk!!?
I have tried "sudo vmware-mount -p /mnt/vmfs/path-to.vdmk" Witch does not list any partitions.
To be sure I also tried "sudo vmware-mount /mnt/vmfs/path-to.vdmk 1 /mnt/disk1" but it does not work.
I used to have a external 2TB usb disk and a guest that was running rsynk daemon, to have a backup if something like this happend, but the fs on that disk was curruptet about a month before server HW borke, and is now wiped....
So there you have it. I'll be really impressed if anyone have a easy or even reasonable way of fixing this.
I'm for one is at a loss 
Thanks in advanse for reading this.
