Hi all,
I am trying to mount a vmdk file on Windows XP. If I do it manually using the vmware-mount utility, I can mount it and access the VM without any issues. But if you fire the same command through a perl script(using Perl's 'system' command), I can mount the vmdk. The error I get in the vmware-mount logs is:
VMware-mount (Release) - build-99018

The volume was not mounted by VMware-mount. It may be a network drive or
it may have been mounted using another utility. It cannot be dismounted.
Errorcode = -2.
I couldnt find anything related to the error no. 30009. The strange thing about this issue is, the same vmdk file was getting mounted few hours back and I haven't changed anything on the VMDK file. Attached is the full vmware-mount log file.
