      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Hi Dust,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;In general, we expect the import of GSX Linux VMs to ESX to work.  It sounds like you're hitting a known limitation having to do with Linux being more lenient than VM Importer is about interpreting disk geometries.  Can you post the .vmx file of one of the cases that's not working?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;-Alvin&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>
