Good morning , please could you clarify the following questions?
I have seen two kind of files regarding to vm disk , they are: disk descriptor file VM_Name.vmdk and disk data file as flat files VM_Name-flat.vdmk
The question is :
According to these files, VMs handle flat files ,is that correct ?
According to I have read about it , flat files are not linked to another file and they use plain text format , Is it the same for VM?
Do the flat file give some benefit allowing to make the transactions or faster ? if so what could be another benefit ?
Thanks for your support
