Hi Dan,

You can register a user in [1], that we will aprove and then you will
be able to submit tickets to our tracker.

I've openned a ticket for improving VMware drivers logging, you can
track it using [2].

I've already committed your suggestion of changing memory variable
from int to long [3].

As for the rest of your suggestions, they look reasonable, although I
will need more time to evaluate them.

Thanks a lot for the feedback! We really appreciate it.

Regards,

-Tino

sed syntax.  For the short term, I've just removed the trailing slash from
images so that it can detect paths correctly (note - this also applies to
tm_delete.sh in the same directory).

disks are provisioned on NFS as sparse files.  cp will explode them into
non-sparse files (or at least, it does on some operating systems - I'm not
sure of the performance on all of them).  Using something like "rsync -a
--sparse" will preserve the files as sparse so that they do not explode and
use extra disk space.
