I have a vmware-server installation running a virtual machine, however I have subsequently (and accidentally) deleted the .vmx configuration file.
It appears that VMWare still has the file open, so it won't (as I understand it) be lost until VMWare is closed (eg I reboot the machine).
Is there anything I can do to recover the file whilst in this state?
(O/S is Ubuntu 7.04 if that helps.)
If you edit the virtual machine settings (via the Vmware console menus) I would think that it will rewrite the .vmx file. There's certainly no harm trying, you can change a fairly innocuous setting.
