topic Linked Clones are un-linking themselves? in VMware Workstation Pro Discussions https://communities.vmware.com/t5/VMware-Workstation-Pro/Linked-Clones-are-un-linking-themselves/m-p/978806#M54669 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Hello,</P><P></P><P>So, I run VMWare Workstation on a Linux External USB drive (Fedora). On that Fedora host I run VMs for school and training. Then whenever I plug that External drive into my Windows host at home and load up a linked clone it naturally complains that it cannot find its base image. When i direct it to that image it seems to take additional steps to create a <STRONG>****-cl1.vmdk</STRONG> file. This file is 5-15gb and as the external drive as a SSD its a bit annoying. What is causing this?</P><P></P><P>Thanks for your time,</P><P></P><P>Adam</P></BODY></HTML> Sun, 24 Nov 2013 20:02:31 GMT AdamTher 2013-11-24T20:02:31Z Linked Clones are un-linking themselves? https://communities.vmware.com/t5/VMware-Workstation-Pro/Linked-Clones-are-un-linking-themselves/m-p/978806#M54669 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Hello,</P><P></P><P>So, I run VMWare Workstation on a Linux External USB drive (Fedora).
