title: VMDK descriptor file format
body: <p>I would like to create a VMDK descriptor file for a dd image so that this image file can be used as a VMDK and attached to a VM.</p>
  
  <p>I am able to find articles like <a href="http://justaskweg.com/?p=959" rel="nofollow">http://justaskweg.com/?p=959</a> and <a href="http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&amp;cmd=displayKC&amp;externalId=1002511" rel="nofollow">http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&amp;cmd=displayKC&amp;externalId=1002511</a>.  But I cannot find something that would describe the file format exactly so that I could create the file with confidence.</p>
  
  <p>Any help is appreciated.</p>
